BACKGROUND: This prospective trial sought to phenotype persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) based on AF mechanisms using electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) mapping to determine whether this would predict long-term freedom from arrhythmia after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
METHODS: Patients with persistent AF of <2 years duration underwent cryoballoon PVI. ECGI mapping was performed before PVI to determine potential drivers (PDs) defined as rotational activations completing ≥1.5 revolutions or focal activations. The coprimary endpoint was the association between (1) PD burden (defined as the number of PD occurrences) and (2) PD distribution (defined as the number of segments on an 18-segment model of the atria harboring PDs) with freedom from arrhythmia at 1-year follow up.
RESULTS: Of 100 patients, 97 completed follow up and 52 (53.6%) remained in sinus rhythm off antiarrhythmic drugs. Neither PD burden nor PD distribution predicted freedom from arrhythmia (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.03, p = .164; and HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.91-1.17, p = .591, respectively). Otherwise, the burden of rotational PDs, rotational stability, and the burden of PDs occurring at the pulmonary veins and posterior wall all failed to predict arrhythmia recurrence (all p > .10).
CONCLUSIONS: AF mechanisms as determined using ECGI mapping do not predict outcomes after PVI for persistent AF. Further studies using different methodologies to characterize AF mechanisms are warranted (NCT03394404).
