Impact of Left Atrial Sphericity Index on the Outcome of Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Tóm tắt
Left atrial sphericity index (LASI) is one significant geometric remodeling parameter to evaluate the prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to determine whether transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)–derived LASI may help predict the outcomes following AF radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). This prospective study enrolled 190 consecutive AF patients who underwent TTE 24 h before RFCA. LASI was calculated as the ratio of left atrial maximum volume to spherical volume. After 1-year follow-up, 56 patients (29.5%) relapsed. Multivariate Cox regression showed that LASI (hazard ratio = 1.48, 95% Cl 1.15–1.92, P = 0.003) was an independent predictor of AF recurrence. Stratifying patients into four subgroups with different LAVI showed that high LASI value indicated a high risk of recurrence, especially in patients with mildly and moderately enlarged atria (the recurrence rate was 0% vs. 26.3%, P = 0.049; 9.5% vs. 40.9%, P = 0.018, respectively). In conclusion, TTE-derived LASI may be useful to predict AF recurrence after RFCA.
