Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of predictors for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) can lead to better long-term results. Our aim was to investigate the association between novel CT imaging markers reflecting the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and the risk of recurrence following PVI. METHODS This study included 80 patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF who underwent PVI. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1-23 patients with recurrence and Group 2-57 patients without recurrence. RESULTS Patients with recurrence presented with a more enlarged left atrial diameter and reduced left ventricle EF, as assessed by echocardiography. Elevated calcium scores and right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis were correlated with a higher risk of AF recurrence (25.38 ± 4.1% vs. 9.76 ± 2.32%, p = 0.001). Patients with AF recurrence presented a higher left atrial volume index (LAVI) (61.38 ± 11.12 mm3/m2 vs. 46.34 ± 12.27 mm3/m2, p < 0.0001). The bi-atrial volume index (BAVI) was similarly higher in the AF recurrence group (98.23 ± 14.44 mm3/m2 vs. 76.48 ± 17.61 mm3/m2, p < 0.0001). Increased EAT volumes located around the LA (EAT-LA) were correlated with recurrence (25.55 ± 6.37 vs. 15.54 ± 8.44, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS RCA stenosis, together with atrial volumes and EAT-AS evaluated by CCTA, is associated with the risk of AF recurrence following PVI.
