Sinus node dysfunction after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial flutter: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Atrial flutter (AFL) is the second most common atrial tachyarrhythmia after atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation (CA) for typical AFL is well-established and has a high success rate and adequate safety. However, sick sinus syndrome (SSS) occasionally occurs when long-term, persistent AFL is terminated by ablation. Sinus node function cannot be assessed during AFL, and the preoperative prediction of underlying SSS has not yet been investigated. When this situation occurs, pacemaker implantation is often necessary. Here, we report a case of SSS after persistent AFL CA.

Project description:Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA) improves sinus node function and may defer a permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. We explored the clinical and genetic characteristics of the patients with AF and sinus node dysfunction (SND) who eventually needed PPM implantation after AFCA. Methods Among 2,732 AF patients with genome-wide association study (GWAS, PMRA, Thermofisher scientific, MA, USA) data who underwent the first AFCA, 244 patients (65.0, IQR [59.0, 72.0] years, male 58.2%, paroxysmal AF 79.5%) had underlying SND before AFCA (class I indication for PPM). We retrospectively investigated clinical factors, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and their polygenic risk score (PRS) associated with PPM-AFCA. We defined the cut-off of PRS using the Youden index. Results During median 37.9 (IQR 20.3-77.9) months follow-up, 36 out of 244 patients (16.1%) with underlying SND eventually underwent PPM implantation after AFCA (PPM-AFCA). PPM-AFCA group a had a higher body mass index (p=0.013) and large left atrial (LA) dimension (p=0.006) than their counterpart. Among 44 SNPs related to AF and SND, the rs3922844 (p=0.003) near SCN5A and rs9320841 (p=0.011) and rs1015451 (p=0.046) near CJA1 were significantly associated with PPM-AFCA. The rate of PPM-AFCA implantation was significantly higher in the high PRS group (≥1.175, 25.6%) compared to the low PRS group (<1.175, 9.38%, p=0.002, Log-rank p=0.002). LA dimension (adjusted HR 1.06, 95% CI [1.00-1.13], p=0.044) and PRS (adjusted HR 2.69, 95% CI [1.68-4.31], p<0.001) were associated with a higher risk for PPM-AFCA after adjusting clinical factors including age, sex, AF type, beta blocker, and antiarrhythmic drugs after AFCA. Conclusions In AF patients with SND, 16% with the genetic background of SCN5A and CJA1 or large atrium eventually needed PPM implantation after AFCA.
