Related factors influencing curative effects of CARTO-guided catheter ablation on atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter
Objective To evaluate the related factors influencing the curative effects of CARTO-guided catheter ablation on atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AF/AFL) and to provide evidences for the selection of patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 100 cases that were divided into 2 groups according to maintenance of sinus rhythm
effective group (group A) and AF/AFL recurrence group (group B)
after 6 months of follow-up. T
he clinical data of the 2 groups were analyzed. Results All patients showed sinus arrhythmia just after the catheter ablation. After 6 months of follow-up
there were 71 cases of sinus arrhythmia and 29 cases of AF/AFL recurrence. Persistent AF
increased hs-CRP level
increased NT-proBNP level
enlarged LAVImax and moderate and severe degree of mitral regurgitation were significantly associated with AF/AFL recurrence (
P
0.05). Furthermore
increased hs-CRP level (HR:5.12;95%CI: 1.87-14.06
P
=0.002) and moderate and severe degree of mitral regurgitation were independent predictors of AF/AFL recurrence. Conclusion Catheter ablation is an effective treatment of AF/AFL in guidance of CARTO. Considering baseline hs-CRP and mitral regurgitation before catheter ablation will improve the success rate.
