PO-01-013 ABLATION IMPROVES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

چکیده
There are many potential benefits to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the impact on functional status has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Activity sensors in implanted cardiac devices provide a novel opportunity for an investigation. In addition, there may be difference between patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF. The purpose this study was examine AF objective behavioral data using physical activity sensor devices. Patients UNC Cardiac Device Surveillance Registry history who underwent and had their device at least 90 days prior were included. stratified into groups based clinical diagnosis codes. Included continuous from 60 after ablation. hospitalized excluded. We used linear mixed-effects models daily values (minutes per day) as unit analysis estimate association activity. 45 115 cohort. Mean age 70.7 yrs (68.6 persistent, 71.6 paroxysmal) (37.5%) female. Implanted included 54.9% pacemakers, 36.3% defibrillators, 8.8% implantable loop recorders. Comorbidities hypertension (95.7%), heart failure (74.8%), diabetes (40.9%), sleep apnea (33%), stroke (17.4%), myocardial infarction (76.5%). no age, type, comorbidity patients. Persistent 14.6 minute increase (p<0.001), while did experience meaningful change levels (-1.6 minutes, p=0.192). This demonstrated objectively-measured No benefit observed Further research larger samples is needed replicate these findings determine whether improvement tolerance underappreciated

Ablation 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 کاملAblation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in the clinical setting affecting nearly 6 million people in United States and the numbers are only expected to rise as the population continues to age. Broadly it is classified into paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent AF. Electrical, structural and autonomic remodeling are some of the diverse pathophysiological...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Catheter ablation for symptomatic, drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an important therapeutic option over the past decade. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been established as the cornerstone for ablation of paroxysmal AF. However, there is a dearth of data regarding the ideal approach for patients with persistent AF. It is generally accepted that PVI alone is insufficient fo...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been widely accepted as an important therapeutic modality for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory AF. Ablation strategies which target the pulmonary veins (PVs) and/or the PV antrum (segmental or large circumferential lesions) are the cornerstone of AF ablation procedures, irrespective of the AF type. Successful electrica...
