Dominant frequency increase rate predicts transition from paroxysmal to long-term persistent atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the transition from paroxysmal to persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). In an ovine model of long-standing persistent AF we tested the hypothesis that the rate of electric and structural remodeling, assessed by dominant frequency (DF) changes, determines the time at which AF becomes persistent. METHODS AND RESULTS Self-sustained AF was...
متن کاملFrequency Gradient Within Coronary Sinus Predicts the Long‐Term Outcome of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
BACKGROUND The coronary sinus (CS), as a junction of the atria, contributes to atrial fibrillation (AF) by developing unstable reentry, and isolating the atria by ablation at the CS could terminate AF. The present study evaluated whether AF activities at the CS in a subset of patients contributed to AF maintenance and predicted clinical outcome of ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 122 ...
متن کاملAblation of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. Its maintenance is thought to be due to multiple wavelets reentry occurring in both atria [1]. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of cryoablation to create lesions in both atria [2] and on the posterior wall of the left atrium [3], connecting the four pulmonary veins and the mitral annulu...
متن کاملEsophageal long-term ECG reveals paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
A 79-year-old man was referred for coronary angiography because of atypical chest pain. The patient’s medical history included a myocardial infarction 5 years previously and well-controlled arterial hypertension. Three months before this admission he reported atypical chest pain, sometimes associated with palpitations lasting seconds up to a few minutes. Hence, he underwent ambulant 24-hour ECG...
متن کاملEfficacy of atrial substrate modification based on dominant frequency of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND The endpoint of ablation procedures is suggested to be non-inducibility of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, the prognosis of induced AF/atrial tachycardia (AT) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in PAF patients remains unclear. METHODS A total of 122 PAF patients were divided into the following 3 groups: Group 1, 79 without AF/AT induced after PVI; Group 2, 21 with ...
