Impact of atrial fibrillation-induced tachycardiomyopathy in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation
Abstract
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a recognized treatable cause of tachycardiomyopathy (TMP), with class IIb indication for catheter ablation (CA). The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence, clinical characteristics and effect of CA in patients with TMP and to evaluate TMP as a prognostic factor for AF recurrence in these patients (TMP group), compared to controls with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and patients with heart failure due to structural cardiomyopathy (HF group).Methods and results The study groups included 659 consecutive patients undergoing CA between 2003 and 2011: TMP group (n = 61), HF group (n = 36) and control group (n = 562). Compared to controls, patients with TMP were younger, had a shorter AF course and more often had persistent AF. Regarding echocardiographic parameters, the TMP group had lower LVEF (40% vs. 62%, P < 0.05), larger left atrial diameter (LAD: 46 vs. 41 mm, P < 0.05) and LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD: 55 vs. 51 mm, P < 0.05) compared to controls, with significant improvement at six-month follow-up, including those patients with AF recurrence. The probability of being arrhythmia-free did not differ between the TMP group and the other groups after a first or last procedure. The only independent predictor of AF recurrence was LAD.Conclusions Patients with tachycardiomyopathy secondary to AF benefit from CA, with a significant improvement in LVEF, LVEDD and LAD. The outcome after CA of this group did not differ from patients with no structural cardiomyopathy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
