Key result
High visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (>9.1) independently predicted atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with hypertension (HR 3.736).
Why the study?
The impact of preprocedural visit-to-visit blood pressure variability on pulmonary vein isolation outcomes in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation remained unclear.

Does preprocedural visit-to-visit blood pressure variability predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation?
Preprocedural visit-to-visit blood pressure variability is investigated as a predictor for atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with hypertension.
Higher pre-PVI BPV was associated with AF recurrence; leaves open whether BPV-targeted strategies improve outcomes.
Background:The impact of preprocedural visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) on pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) outcome in patients with hypertension (HTN) and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear.

Kamioka et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Atrial Fibrillation and Hypertension (n=138). High visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (Sys-BPV >9.1) vs. Low visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (Sys-BPV ≤9.1) was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (HR 3.736, 95% CI 1.752-7.964, p=0.001). High visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (>9.1) independently predicted atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with hypertension (HR 3.736).
