Περίληψη:
Background: Isolation of the pulmonary veins (PVI) has become a mainstay in atrial fibrillation (AFib) therapy. Lesions in left atrial tissue lead to scar formation and this may affect left atrial function. Methods: Patients with paroxysmal AFib were randomly assigned in a 1:2 allocation scheme to radiofrequency (RF) ablation or cryoballoon. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography was performed (under sinus rhythm in all cases) before ablation and at 1 and 3 months to evaluate the left atrial functional indices. The primary outcome measure was change in left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) at 1 month. Results: 120 patients were randomized (80 to cryoballoon, 40 to RF). The absolute change in LAEF at 1 month was 4.0 (Q1-Q3, −0.1to 7.6)% in the cryoballoon group and −0.8 (Q1-Q3, −1.9 to 0.9)% in the RF group (P < 0.001 for the comparison between groups). At 3 months, the corresponding changes were 6.7 (Q1-Q3, 3.4-11.2)% and 0.7 (Q1-Q3, −0.7 to 3.5)%, respectively (P < 0.001). Overall, the rate of patients with lower LAEF at 3 months compared to baseline was 2.5% in the cryoballoon group and 32.5% in the RF group (P < 0.001). AFib recurrence rate at 6 months was higher in patients with decreased LAEF (odds ratio, 6.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.0-19.5; P = 0.002). Conclusion: The Cryo-LAEF study prospectively compared the effects of RF and cryoballoon ablation on left atrial function. Both at 1 and 3 months postablation, LAEF was either improved or stable in both ablation groups. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
