摘要
Background: The incidence and influence of vagal response (VR) observed during cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation (CBA-based PVI) on the cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) and ablation outcomes in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remain unknown. Methods: 296 patients were treated with a 28 mm second-generation cryoballoon (Medtronic). A total of 74 patients without structural heart disease and concomitant diseases were chosen for a detailed CANS assessment with a heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. All patients were screened over a 2-year post-ablation period. Results: VR was detected in 30% of patients and included sinus arrest (64%) or severe sinus bradycardia (46%). The presence of VR was not related to PV ostial dimension, patient clinical characteristics or intraprocedural ablation details. CANS modulation, manifesting as increased median HR and decreased HRV parameters with intact sympatho-vagal balance occurred independently of VR presence or absence and sustained for at least 12 months following ablation. VR was not related with more intensive CANS modulation and did not translate into better ablation outcomes when compared to the non-VR group (74% vs. 71% at 12 months and 69% vs. 65% at 24 months respectively). Conclusions: VR is frequent during CBA-based PVI for PAF and unrelated to any additional clinical benefit.
