RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The assessment of noninvasive markers of left atrial (LA) low-voltage substrate (LVS) enables the identification of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at risk for arrhythmia recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). METHODS: In this prospective multicenter study, 292 consecutive AF patients (72% male, 62 ± 11 years, 65% persistent AF) underwent high-density LA voltage mapping in sinus rhythm. LA-LVS (<0.5 mV) was considered as significant at 2 cm2  or above. Preprocedural clinical electrocardiogram and echocardiographic data were assessed to identify predictors of LA-LVS. The role of the identified LA-LVS markers in predicting 1-year arrhythmia freedom after PVI was assessed in 245 patients. RESULTS: Significant LA-LVS was identified in 123 (42%) patients. The amplified sinus P-wave duration (APWD) best predicted LA-LVS, with a 148-ms value providing the best-balanced sensitivity (0.81) and specificity (0.88). An APWD over 160 ms was associated with LA-LVS in 96% of patients, whereas an APWD under 145 ms in 15%. Remaining gray zones improved their accuracy by introduction of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) of 35 mmHg or above, age, and sex. According to COX regression, the risk of arrhythmia recurrence 12 months following PVI was twofold and threefold higher in patients with APWD 145-160 and over 160 ms, compared to APWD under 145 ms. Integration of pulmonary hypertension further improved the outcome prediction in the intermediate APWD group: Patients with APWD 145-160 ms and normal sPAP had similar outcome than patients with APWD under 145 ms (hazard ratio [HR] 1.62, p = .14), whereas high sPAP implied worse outcome (HR 2.56, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The APWD identifies LA-LVS and risk for arrhythmia recurrence after PVI. Our prediction model becomes optimized by means of integration of the pulmonary artery pressure.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe a mapping approach for ablation of complex atrial re-entrant tachycardias (ARTs) in which high-density activation maps are transformed into low-density activation maps displaying only the active part of the tachycardia circuit. BACKGROUND: High-density activation maps during complex ARTs are challenging to interpret because they include the activation patterns of active and passive circuits. Entrainment mapping provides the identification of the active tachycardia circuit. However, current electroanatomic mapping systems are not capable of color-coding the information obtained from entrainment maneuvers. METHODS: Seventeen consecutive patients with atypical atrial flutter were included. A high-density activation map was acquired during index tachycardia. Subsequently, entrainment maneuvers were performed to generate a low-density activation map in which only the activation of the atria directly involved in the flutter circuit was displayed. RESULTS: Of all patients included, 82% were men, and their mean age was 62 ± 7 years. Structural heart disease was present in 59%, and 53% had undergone prior left atrial ablation procedures. Low-density activation maps were successfully generated from an average of 14 ± 3 entrainment points. Twenty circuits (95%) were identified in the left atrium and 1 (5%) in the right atrium. Ablation guided by low-density mapping successfully terminated all ARTs in 267 ± 353 s of radiofrequency application. CONCLUSIONS: Low-density mapping based on entrainment maneuvers provides a precise delineation of the active circuit during complex ARTs and resulted in successful arrhythmia termination. This approach can be easily incorporated into clinical practice.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: El marcapasos transcatéter Micra presenta una alta efectividad y una tasa de complicaciones más baja que los marcapasos convencionales. Sin embargo, se desconoce su beneficio en la población más anciana (≥ 90 años). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la efectividad y la seguridad de Micra en pacientes de edad ≥ 90 años. MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional prospectivo con pacientes consecutivos mayores de 70 años a los que se implantó un marcapasos Micra, divididos en 2 grupos de edad: ≥ 90 y <90 años. RESULTADOS: El Micra se implantó en 129 pacientes, 41 tenían 90 o más años y 88, menos de 90. El implante fue exitoso en 40 pacientes (97,6%) de edad ≥ 90 años y en 87 (98,9%) menores de 90 (p = 0,58). Fueron necesarias 2 o menos reposiciones en el 97,5 y el 91,9% de los pacientes respectivamente (p = 0,32). Los tiempos de procedimiento (26,1±11,6 frente a 30,3±14,2min; p = 0,11) y de fluoroscopia (6,4±4,7 frente a 7,2±4,9min; p = 0,41) fueron similares en ambos grupos. Hubo 3 complicaciones mayores (2,3%), todas en el grupo menor de 90 años: 1 perforación cardiaca, 1 hematoma femoral y 1 seudoaneurisma femoral. Un total de 13 pacientes de edad ≥ 90 años (31,7%) y 16 de los menores de 90 (18,2%) murieron durante unos seguimientos medios de 230±233 y 394±285 días respectivamente. No hubo muertes relacionadas con el dispositivo. No se observaron infección, dislocación o migración de Micra. El rendimiento eléctrico fue óptimo en el seguimiento. CONCLUSIONES: El marcapasos sin cables Micra parece efectivo y seguro en pacientes mayores de 90 años. Podría considerarse una alternativa razonable a la estimulación transvenosa convencional en esta población


INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The Micra transcatheter pacing system has shown high effectiveness and a lower complication rate than conventional transvenous pacemakers. However, the benefit of the device is unknown in the very old population (≥ 90 years). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Micra in patients ≥ 90 years. METHODS: We present a prospective observational study with consecutive patients aged >70 years who underwent implantation of a Micra pacemaker system. Patients were divided into 2 groups: ≥ 90 and<90 years. RESULTS: The Micra system was implanted in 129 patients, of whom 41 were aged ≥ 90 years and 88<90 years. The device was successfully implanted in 40 (97.6%) patients ≥ 90 years and in 87 (98.9%) patients<90 years (P=.58). An adequate position was achieved with need for ≤ 2 repositions in 97.5% and 91.9% of patients, respectively (P=.32). Procedure time (26.1 ±11.6 vs 30.3 ±14.2minutes; P=.11) and fluoroscopy time (6.4 ±4.7 vs 7.2 ±4.9minutes; P=0.41) were similar in the 2 groups. There were 3 major complications (2.3%), all in the group aged<90 years: 1 cardiac perforation, 1 femoral hematoma, and 1 femoral pseudoaneurysm. Thirteen patients aged ≥ 90 years (31.7%) and 16 patients aged <90 years (18.2%) died during a mean follow-up of 230±233 days and 394±285 days, respectively. There were no device-related deaths. No infection, dislocation or migration of Micra were observed. The electrical performance was optimal at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The Micra leadless pacing system seems to be safe and effective in patients older than 90 years. It may be considered a reasonable alternative to conventional transvenous pacing in this population
