BACKGROUND: Vagal responses (VRs) are often seen in patients undergoing circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI). The possible mechanism of VR is that CPVI creates a coincidental modification of the cardiac ganglionated plexi (GP).
AIM: To investigate whether the presence of VR during CPVI impacts post-ablation recurrence in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
METHODS: A total of 112 consecutive patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF who underwent CPVI for the first time from October 1, 2017 to April 30, 2019 were prospectively enrolled, of which two were lost the follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether VRs were experienced during CPVI. Electrophysiological parameters, including atrial effective refractory period (AERP) and mean heart rate (MHR), were measured before and post-ablation. The patients were then followed up for 12 months.
RESULTS: The 71 patients who had experienced VRs during CPVI were assigned to group B, and the remaing 39 patients who did not experience VR during CPVI were assigned to group A. The MHR (79.6 ± 8.3 vs 70.4 ± 7.8 b/min; p ≤ 0.001) was significantly higher; and the AERP (244 ± 22 vs 215 ± 27 ms; p ≤ 0.001) was prolonged in group B compared to respective pre-ablation values. There were no significant changes in the MHR (69.5 ± 7.9 vs 69.7 ± 8.7 b/min; p = 0.541) and AERP (224 ± 28 vs 225 ± 33 ms; p = 0.542) in group A. During the first four months of follow-up after ablation, the MHR gradually slowed down to pre-procedural levels in group B. The recurrence of AF (6/71 vs 7/39; p = 0.023) significantly decreased in group B relative to group A during the first 6 months after ablation, but there was no significant difference (14/71 vs 9/39; p = 0.598) at the end of the 12-month follow-up period.
CONCLUSION: Patients with paroxysmal AF who develop VRs during CPVI might have a decreased recurrence of AF and accelerated MHR in the short-term.
