简介
Methods
A total of 360 AF patients were monitored immediately post ablation by weekly and symptomatic trans-telephonic monitoring (TTM) through 12 months, and 12-lead ECGs at 3, 6, and 12 months. This analysis included 294 patients (154 paroxysmal, 140 persistent AF) with≥ 10 rhythm assessments during the blanking period. ERAT was defined as≥ 30s of atrial tachyarrhythmias on TTM or≥ 10s on ECG, both within the blanking period. Late recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (LRATs) was defined as observed atrial tachyarrhythmias between 90 days and 12 months.
Results
Overall prevalence of ERAT was 27.1% in paroxysmal and 31.6% in persistent AF patients. Median time to first documented ERAT was 19 [5-56] days in paroxysmal and 7.5 [4-14] days in persistent AF patients. Most patients with ERAT (71%) had ERAT onset within the first month post-procedure. ERAT was associated with LRAT in …
