Asymptomatic recurrence after AF ablation: Is all lost?
As the functionality and usage of permanent pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators continues to grow, these devices also provide an opportunistic means of cardiac arrhythmia detection. Ongoing refinements in device detection algorithms have facilitated the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) with a high degree of accuracy [1]. Not only is this beneficial in corroborating symptomatic events, bu...
متن کاملThe proportion of asymptomatic recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with a pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation (CA) of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is an effective treatment. However, the frequency of asymptomatic AF recurrence after CA in patients with PAF and sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is not clear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the real AF recurrence after CA in patients with PAF and a pacemaker for SSS. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-one consecutive patients...
متن کاملEfficacy of Antiarrhythmic Drugs Short-Term Use After Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (EAST-AF) trial.
AIMS Substantial portion of early arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered to be due to irritability in left atrium (LA) from the ablation procedure. We sought to evaluate whether 90-day use of antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) following AF ablation could reduce the incidence of early arrhythmia recurrence and thereby promote reverse remodelling of LA, le...
متن کاملPerception of atrial fibrillation before and after radiofrequency catheter ablation: relevance of asymptomatic arrhythmia recurrence.
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the incidence and impact of asymptomatic arrhythmia in patients with highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) who qualified for radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective study, 114 patients with at least 3 documented AF episodes together with corresponding symptoms and an ineffective trial of at least...
متن کاملPrevalence of asymptomatic recurrences of atrial fibrillation after successful radiofrequency catheter ablation.
INTRODUCTION The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been based on patient-reported symptoms suggestive of AF. However, asymptomatic recurrences of AF may remain undetected. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic recurrences of AF after an apparently successful catheter ablation procedure for AF. METHODS AND RES...
