Impact of the sinus node recovery time after termination of atrial fibrillation during catheter ablation on clinical outcomes in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

<h4>Background</h4>Although long sinus arrest is occasionally observed during atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation when the fibrillation was terminated, its meaning and prognosis have not yet been clearly elucidated. We hypothesized that sinus node recovery time (SNRT) after termin...

We recorded SNRT after terminating AF by radiofrequency delivery or electrical cardioversion during the first ablation and evaluated the relationships between SNRT and atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence and between SNRT and non-PV triggers after repeat ablation.<h4>Results</h4>Forty-five patients (28.7%) experienced recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias. Patients with recurrence had longer SNRTs (1738 ms vs. 1394 ms, p = 0.012). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, only SNRT ≥2128ms was a significant independent predictor of clinical AF recurrence (hazard ratio 7.48; 95% confidence interval 2.94-19.00; P<0.001).
