The Role of Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure on the Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Tachycardias in Patients With Isolated Pre-capillary Pulmonary Hypertension
Original language description
Atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardias (AF/AT) have been reported as a common condition in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). As yet, limited data exists about the significance of the borderline post-capillary pressure component on the occurrence of AF / AT in patients with isolated pre-capillary PH. We retrospectively studied the prevalence of AF / AT in 333 patients (mean age 61 +/- 15 years, 44 % males) with pre-capillary idiopathic / familiar pulmonary arterial hypertension, and inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The prevalence of AF / AT was analyzed in different categories of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP). In the study population overall, the mean PAWP was 10.5 +/- 3 mmHg, median of 11 mmHg, range 2-15 mmHg. AF / AT was diagnosed in 79 patients (24 %). The proportion of AF / AT among patients with PAWP below the median (<_11 mmHg) was lower than in subjects with PAWP between 12 and 15 mmHg, 30 (16 %) vs. 46 (35 %), p=0.0001. Compared to the patients with PAWP<_11 mmHg, subjects with PAWP between 12 and 15 mmHg were older (65 +/- 13 years vs. 58 +/- 16), with more prevalent arterial hypertension [100 (70 %) vs. 106 (55 %)] and diabetes mellitus [50 (35 %) vs. 48 (25 %)], showed larger size of the left atrium (42 +/- 7 vs. 40 +/- 6 mm), and higher values of right atrium pressure (12 +/- 5 vs. 8 +/- 5 mmHg), p<0.05 in all comparisons. The prevalence of AF / AT in the group studied increased with the growing post-capillary component.
