Abstract

The outcome of catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is vastly analyzed by the entire P-wave duration (PWD). However, the first and second P-wave parts, corresponding to right (RA) and left atrial (LA) wavefront propagation, may be unequally modified. Five-minute lead II recordings before and after the first-ever CA of 40 parox-ysmal AF patients were analyzed and P-wave features were calculated: PWDon-off of the entire P-wave and each P-wave part (RA:PWDon-peak, LA:PWDpeak-off) and the time from P-wave onset or offset to the R-peak (PWDon-R and PWDoff-R, respectively). Heart-rate (HR) adjustment (HRA) mitigated the HR fluctuations. Prelpost-CA comparison was performed with Mann-Whitney U-test and median values were... (More)

Five-minute lead II recordings before and after the first-ever CA of 40 parox-ysmal AF patients were analyzed and P-wave features were calculated: PWDon-off of the entire P-wave and each P-wave part (RA:PWDon-peak, LA:PWDpeak-off) and the time from P-wave onset or offset to the R-peak (PWDon-R and PWDoff-R, respectively). Heart-rate (HR) adjustment (HRA) mitigated the HR fluctuations. Prelpost-CA comparison was performed with Mann-Whitney U-test and median values were calculated. Pearson's correlation was calculated between PWD and the remaining features. The effect of CA with (Δ: -17.96%) or without HRA (Δ: -9.84%) was significant at the entire PWDon-off and at the PWDpeak-off(HRA:Δ: -27.77%, no HRA: Δ: -22.03%). PWDon-off showed a stronger correlation with RA than LA(ρmax=0.805 vs ρmax=0.541). P-wave features corresponding to RA are more strongly related to the entire P-wave. Nevertheless, only the P-wave part associated with LA is significantly affected by CA. That being so, studies are encouraged to incorporate part-time P-wave analysis.
