Improvement in Quality of Life After Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Versus Long-standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective Study With 3-Year Follow-up
Original language description
Background-Changes in quality of life (QoL) after catheter ablation for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) are not well described. We sought to compare QoL improvement after catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) versus that after LSPAF. Methods and Results-A total of 261 PAF and 126 LSPAF ablation recipients were prospectively followed for arrhythmia recurrence, QoL, hospital stay, and sick leave. In PAF versus LSPAF groups, 1.3 +/- 0.6 versus 1.6 +/- 0.7 procedureswere performed per patient (P<0.00001) during a 3-year follow-up. Good arrhythmia control was achieved in 86% versus 87% of patients (P=0.69) and in 69% versus 69% of patients not receiving antiarrhythmic drugs (P=0.99). The baseline QoL was better in the PAF than in the LSPAF group (European Quality of Life Group instrument self-report questionnaire visual analog scale: 66.4 +/- 14.2 versus 61.0 +/- 14.2, P=0.0005; European Quality of Life Group 3-level, 5-dimensional descriptive syste
