Left atrial appendage function and structure predictors of recurrent atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation: A meta-analysis of observational studies
FRONTIERS IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE(2022)
摘要
Background: The results of studies evaluating the left atrial appendage (LAA) function and structure as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) are contradictory. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess whether the LAA function and structure can predict the recurrence of AF after CA.Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases were used to conduct a comprehensive literature search. Finally, 37 studies encompassing 11 LAA parameters were included in this meta-analysis.Results: Compared with those in the non-recurrence group, the recurrence group had increased LAA volume (SMD 0.53, 95% CI [0.36, 0.71] p < 0.00001), LAA volume index, LAA orifice area, and LAA orifice short/long axis and decreased LAA emptying flow velocity (SMD -0.54, 95% CI [-0.68, -0.40], P < 0.00001), LAA filling flow velocity, and LAA ejection fraction, while there was no significant difference in LAA morphology or LAA depth.Conclusion: Large LAA structure of pre-ablation (LAA volume, orifice area, orifice long/short axis, and volume index) and decreased LAA function of pre-ablation (LAA emptying flow velocity, filling flow velocity, ejection fraction, and LASEC) increase the odds of AF recurrence after CA.
