Abstract

AIMS: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation efficacy varies according to patients' clinical characteristics. Although the association of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and AF is well established, data on AF ablation efficacy in OSA are scarce. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of OSA on the outcome of AF ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS: A series of 174 consecutive patients without polysomnography submitted to circumferential pulmonary vein ablation were included in the study. All patients were assessed by Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and underwent an echocardiogram and a clinical evaluation. Patients with a high BQ score, indicating high risk for OSA, participated in a sleep study. Diagnoses were classified according to the apnoea-hypoapnoea index (AHI) as mild (AHI < 10/h), non-severe (AHI < 30/h), or severe (AHI >or= 30/h) OSA. Follow-up consisted of outpatient visits and 24 or 48 h Holter monitoring at 1, 4, and 7 months, and every 6 months thereafter. Any episode of AF or left atrial (LA) flutter was considered recurrence. Fifty-one (29.3%) patients had high BQ scores. The sleep study showed that 17 (9.8%) and 25 (14.4%) of these patients had non-severe and severe OSA, respectively. One-year arrhythmia-free probability after a single ablation procedure was 48.5% in patients with low risk for OSA (low BQ score or AHI < 10/h), 30.4% in the non-severe OSA group (10 < AHI < 30/h) and 14.3% in the severe OSA group (AHI >or= 30). Anteroposterior LA diameter [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.046, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.005-1.089; P = 0.029] and severe OSA (HR = 1.870, 95% CI: 1.106-3.161; P = 0.019) were the independent predictors of arrhythmia recurrence. CONCLUSION: In patients with AF ablation, the presence of severe OSA is an independent predictor for AF ablation failure.

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.
