Key result
Pre-ablation hs-CRP and 1-day post-ablation NT-proBNP levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 6 months.
Why the study?
Do pre-ablation hs-CRP and post-ablation NT-proBNP levels predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter at 6 months in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation?
Population
Patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (RCAAF) in Switzerland and Canada.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up

Do pre-ablation hs-CRP and post-ablation NT-proBNP levels predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter at 6 months in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation?
Pre-ablation hs-CRP and immediate post-ablation NT-proBNP levels may serve as promising stratification tools for predicting arrhythmia recurrence after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Carballo et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Atrial fibrillation. Pre-ablation hs-CRP and post-ablation NT-proBNP levels was evaluated on Recurrence of AF or atrial flutter at 6 months. Pre-ablation hs-CRP and 1-day post-ablation NT-proBNP levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 6 months.
