We tested the hypothesis that IACT is related to left atrial low voltage area (LVA) and predicts the recurrence after single atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
Methods: One hundred sixty-four consecutive AF patients (79 non-paroxysmal) who underwent initial ablation in our institute were analyzed. IACT and LVA were defined as interval from the onset of P-wave to the basal left atrial appendage (P-LAA) activation, and area with bipolar electrogram < 0.5 mV covering over 5% of the total left atrial surface area during sinus rhythm, respectively. Pulmonary vein antrum isolation, non-PV foci ablation, and atrial tachycardia (AT) ablation were performed without substrate modification.
Results: LVA was frequently identified in patients with prolonged P-LAA ? 84 ms (n = 28) compared with patients with P-LAA < 84 ms (n = 136). Patients with P-LAA ? 84 ms were older (71 ± 10 vs. 65 ± 10 years, p = .0061), and had more frequent non-paroxysmal AF (75% vs. 43%, p = .0018), larger left atrial diameter (43.5 ± 4.5 vs. 39.3 ± 5.7 mm, p = .0003), and higher E/e' ratio (14.4 ± 6.5 vs. 10.5 ± 3.7, p < .0001) compared with P-LAA < 84 ms patients. After a mean follow-up period of 665 ± 153 days, Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that AF/AT recurrences was more frequently observed in patients with prolonged P-LAA (Log-rank p = .0001). Additionally, univariate analysis revealed that P-LAA prolongation (OR = 1.055 per 1 ms, 95% CI: 1.028-1.087, p < .0001) and the existence of LVA (OR = 5.000, 95% CI: 1.653-14.485 p = .0053) were predictors of AF/AT recurrences after single AF ablation.
Conclusions: Our results suggested that prolonged IACT as measured by P-LAA was associated with LVA and predicts AT/AF recurrence after single AF ablation.抄録：英語フィールド
