Results

During a median follow-up of 25 months, Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with AIC were associated with less frequent cardiovascular death (p=0.025) and hospitalization for worsening heart failure (p<0.001) than those without AIC. Freedom from AF recurrence was similar between the two groups (p=0.47).

Baseline Characteristics

All patients underwent successful pulmonary vein isolation without any procedural complications, except for transient gastric hypomotility in 2 patients and cerebral infarction in 1 patient. Ninety-six patients (66.7years; 72 males, LVEF 39.3%) were included in our study and divided into the AIC group (n=67 [69.8%]) and non-AIC group (n=29 [30.2%]).

Participant flow

In total, 129 consecutive patients with AF and reduced LVEF (<50%) underwent initial AF ablation at our hospital from November 2014 to December 2021. Patients with an old myocardial infarction in >2 vessels and left ventricular hypertrophy, defined as a maximum LV wall thickness >13 mm on echocardiography, were excluded. AIC was defined as patients whose LVEF post-procedurally recovered to the normal range (>50%; LVEF recovery) and/or increased >20% from baseline by maintaining sinus rhythm after catheter ablation. Post-procedural LVEF was evaluated under maintained sinus rhythm between 3 and 12 months after initial catheter ablation. If patients experienced AF before follow-up echocardiographic measurements, echocardiographic parameters were evaluated while maintaining sinus rhythm from 3 to 12 months after the repeat procedure.

Adverse events

Nothing

Outcome measures

We found that 1) AIC was associated with freedom from the composite endpoint, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for worsening heart failure after AF ablation; 2) LV end-diastolic diameter and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were independent predictors of AIC; 3) between patients with AIC with and without RAS inhibitors usage, clinical outcomes, including cardiovascular death, hospitalization for worsening heart failure, and AF recurrence, did not differ after the procedure; 4) though there were differences in baseline characteristics between patients with AIC with and without beta-blockers, no significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed between two groups; 5) serial change of pre- and post-procedural echocardiographic parameters, except for LV end-diastolic diameters, did not differ between those with and without RAS inhibitors or with and without beta-blocker usage.
