BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) might influence the cardiac autonomic nervous system. To investigate the impact of catheter ablation on the sympathetic nervous function in AF patients with and without heart failure (HF) using cardiac iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-mIBG) scintigraphy, and the association of this effect with AF recurrence.
METHODS: Forty consecutive patients (median age, 65 (54-69) years; male, 29) with paroxysmal (n=22) and persistent (n=18) AF who were scheduled for ablation were enrolled. Twelve (30%) of these patients also exhibited either stable HF, defined as an ejection fraction <40%, or a history of symptomatic HF. (123)I-mIBG scintigraphy was performed at baseline and 3months post-ablation. The heart-to-mediastinum ratio of (123)I-mIBG uptake at 15min (H/M15min) and 240min (H/M240min), as well as the washout rate (WR) were measured.
RESULTS: During an 11±4-month follow-up, AF recurrence was observed in 8 (20%) patients receiving no antiarrhythmic drugs. Patients with HF had a tendency toward a lower baseline H/M15min (1.91±0.06 vs. 2.05±0.04, p=0.07), significantly lower H/M240min (1.88±0.22 vs. 2.14±0.28, p=0.008), and higher WR (40.3±9.0 vs. 32.3±7.4, p=0.007). Post-ablation, WR decreased in patients with HF (40.2±8.5 to 29.0±8.9, p=0.02) but slightly increased in those without (32.0±7.4 to 34.6±10.3, p=0.04). WR post-ablation independently predicted AF recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio=1.14 for 1 percentage point increase in the WR, 95% coincidence interval=1.02-1.34, p=0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: AF ablation restores sympathetic nervous system status via attenuation of excessive adrenergic tone in HF patients. Elevated sympathetic nervous tone 3months post-ablation was a reliable predictor of AF recurrence.
