ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The identification of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) in patients with atrial flutter (AFL) is difficult before the termination of AFL. This study investigated the patient characteristics used in predicting a high risk of SSS after AFL ablation. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Out of 339 consecutive patients who had undergone radiofrequency ablation for AFL from 1991 to 2012, 27 (8%) had SSS (SSS group). We compared the clinical characteristics of patients with and without SSS (n=312, no-SSS group).RESULTS:
The SSS group was more likely to have a lower body mass index (SSS 22.5+/-3.2; no-SSS 24.0+/-3.0 kg/m2; p=0.02), a history of atrial septal defects (ASD; SSS 19%; no-SSS 6%; p=0.01), a history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG; SSS 11%; no-SSS 2%; p=0.002), and a longer flutter cycle length (CL; SSS 262.3+/-39.2; no-SSS 243.0+/-40; p=0.02) than the no-SSS group. In multivariate analysis, a history of ASD [odds ratio (OR) 3.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-11.4, p=0.02] and CABG (7.1, 95% CI 1.5-32.8, p=0.01) as well as longer flutter CL (1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.2, p=0.04) were independent risk factors for SSS.CONCLUSION:
A history of ASD and CABG as well as longer flutter CL increased the risk of SSS after AFL ablation. While half of the patients with SSS after AFL ablation experienced transient SSS, heart failure was associated with irreversible SSS.
