OBJECTIVE: The interplay between atrial fibrillation and blood pressure (BP) is insufficiently studied. In symptomatic patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, electrical cardioversion (ECV) is often used to restore sinus rhythm. In this prospective study, we investigated how restoration of sinus rhythm affected 24-h ambulatory BP.
METHODS: Ninety-eight patients with persistent atrial fibrillation were examined with 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring before and approximately a week after ECV.
RESULTS: Sixty-two patients remained in sinus rhythm at the time of the second ambulatory BP monitoring (AF-SR group), whereas 36 patients had relapsed into atrial fibrillation (AF-AF group). In the AF-SR group, there was a significant increase in mean systolic 24-h BP (5.6 mmHg), a significant decrease in mean diastolic 24-h BP (-4.7 mmHg) and accordingly, a significant 25% (10.4 mmHg) increase in mean 24-h pulse pressure.
CONCLUSION: These findings may reflect the haemodynamic conditions that are prevalent in atrial fibrillation, ambulatory BP measurement bias in atrial fibrillation or a combination of both factors. From a clinical standpoint, our results suggest that an increased attention to BP is needed when sinus rhythm is restored, as underlying hypertension may be masked by BP changes during atrial fibrillation. From a general standpoint, it may be speculated that BP, as indicated by the relatively large difference in pulse pressure, may be inherently different in atrial fibrillation and may therefore not be interpretable in the equivalent manner as BP in sinus rhythm.
