Objective

The relationship between arterial stiffness (AS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence is well-known. In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between AS parameters and AF occurence and AF recurrence post catheter ablation (CA) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF).

Methods

We enrolled 103 patients with PAF diagnosis and 103 control group patients with similar demographic characteristics. We measured and compared AS parameters and central aortic pressure (CAP) parameters by an oscillometric device in both groups. In patient group 51 patients underwent CA for AF and recurrence rates in 3 and 6 months were recorded. AS parameters were compared between patients with and without AF recurrence.
