چکیده
Aim. To develop a method for predicting the area of low-voltage (LVA) in left atrium (LA), associated with minimum and maximum expected effectiveness primary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) patients non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) using non-invasive predictors. Methods. A longitudinal single-center study included 150 symptomatic AF pts aged 20-72 years (median 59.0 [51.0; 64.0]), including 63 women (42%) hospitalized RFA; 119 (79.3%) had paroxysmal 31 (20.7%) - persistent AF. All initially underwent general clinical examination, transesophageal advanced transthoracic echocardiography, estimation NT-proBNP (pg/ml) growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15, pg/ml) blood. Electroanatomical mapping was performed sinus rhythm before RFA. The LVA (<0.5 mV) calculated as percentage total LA area. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) >50% all pts. Results. varied from 0 to 95.3%, median 13.7% [5.1; 30.9]. Depending on area, were divided into 3 groups: 36 (<5%) gr. 1; 74 (5-30%) 2; 40 (>30%) 3. Increase age, presence, severity congestive heart failure (CHF), AF, CHA 2 DS -VASc score ≥3 points, increase volume, LV hypertrophy GDF-15 levels. In univariate analysis, <5% level <125 pg/ml, absence obesity CHF, lower volume index (<28 ml/ m ). Independent predictors were: ≤28 . model good quality, C-statistics 0.775 (p<0.001). >30 % age >60 years, >125 >840 presence hypertrophy, LVEF ≤60%, ≥ 32 ml/m >30% ≥32 , ≤60%. 0.752 Conclusion. Evaluation noninvasive parameters, characteristics, echocardiographic blood levels GDF-15, allows prediction electroanatomical substrate referred

MicroRNA profiling in the left atrium in patients with non-valvular paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify the miRNA expression profiles in left atrial appendage, with the intention of identifying miRNAs that were significantly associated with non-valvular paroxysmal AF. METHODS The RNA samples were isolated from healthy controls (n = 5) and patients with atrial fibrillation (n = 8). To confirm the findings obtained by analyzing the miRNA profile, we measured the ex...
متن کاملNovel fibro-inflammation markers in assessing left atrial remodeling in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND Structural remodeling is associated with the fibroinflammatory process in the atrial extracellular matrix. In the present study we aimed to investigate whether serum levels of new circulating remodeling markers differ in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to patients with sinus rhythm. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population included 52 patients diagnosed with non-va...
متن کاملPrediction of left atrial appendage thrombi in non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
AIMS There is little knowledge about the predictors of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We investigated the ability of D-dimer to predict LAA thrombi. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, 925 patients with NVAF were enrolled. At the time of transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), D-dimer levels were measured simultaneously. Significant independent...
متن کاملFrequency of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation.
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is significantly related to adverse clinical outcomes in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events. In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), data on LVH, that is, prevalence and determinants, are inconsistent mainly because of different definitions and heterogeneity of study populations. We determined echocardiographic-based LVH prevalence and clinical ...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Morphology in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Accessible online at: http://structuralheartdisease.org/ Abstract Aims: Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion has now become a suitable alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in selected patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, LAA closure can be technically challenging and results suboptimal, in part due to variable left atrial anatomy.We aimed to charac...
