OP-106 Elevated Left Ventricular Diastolic Pressure Estimated by E/e’ Ratio Predicts Outcome in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Second-generation Cryoballoon




Objectives


Previous studies have shown that left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) contribute to atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis. However, data on the impact of LVDD on AF recurrence after cryoballoon-based pulmonary ven isolation (PVI) is limited. In this study, we aimed to determine the predictive value of pre-procedural parameters of left ventricular diastolic function for late AF recurrence in AF patients following PVI with second- generation cryoballoon.




Methods


Paroxysmal AF patients who were scheduled to undergo cryoballoon-based PVI were enrolled in the study. Each patient underwent transthoracic echocardiography, and LVDD was determined by left atrial volume index (LAVI), transmitral and tissue Doppler parameters. Patients were followed- up for 12 months.
