Significant improvement of left atrial and left atrial appendage function after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The long-term effects of catheter ablation (CA) on the left atrium and left atrial appendage (LAA) are unknown in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigated left atrial (LA) reverse remodeling and evolution of LA/LAA function after successful CA for persistent AF and identified predictors for maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) and LA reverse remodeling. METHODS AND ...
متن کاملArrhythmia/Electrophysiology Renal Function After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Background—Kidney function is a known predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often have kidney dysfunction, less is known about the association between AF and kidney function. We sought to assess changes in kidney function after catheter ablation of AF. Methods and Results—Patients who underwent catheter ablation of AF were recruited...

متن کاملLeft atrial emptying fraction predicts recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency catheter ablation
BACKGROUND Compared with left atrial (LA) dimension, LA emptying fraction (LAEF) has received less emphasis as a predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). In addition, patients experiencing post-RFCA AF recurrence may respond to previously ineffective antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). Classifying these patients into a third RFCA outcome category ...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
AIMS Data on long-term follow-up of patients who have undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) are very limited. This report aimed at presenting clinical outcome and AF-free survival after pulmonary vein (PV) isolation over an extended (>3 years) follow-up period. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-nine patients subjected to PV isolation for paroxysmal AF were followed-up for at least...
