RESUMO

Although pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, no data exist comparing PV anatomy between AF subtypes directly. We aimed to compare PV anatomic characteristics between paroxysmal (PAF) and persistent AF (PeAF) in a matched population using cardiac computed tomography (CCT). Fifty-eight PeAF patients (with CCT prior first AF ablation procedure, absence of valvular disease/previous cardiac intervention), and 58 age-, sex-, body surface area-matched PAF patients were evaluated for left atrial (LA) and PV anatomy: ostial area, ovality index (OVI), transverse/frontal angles. In PeAF vs PAF group, beside higher LA volume index (LAVI), PVs' ostial areas were significantly larger (between 64 - 101 mm2, P < 0.001 for all PVs; remaining valid after LAVI adjustment for left superior [LS], left inferior [LI], and right inferior [RI]PV); left PVs were less oval (0.7 - 0.11 OVI decrease, P =0.039 for LSPV; P = 0.012 for LIPV); LSPV (P = 0.019), LIPV (P < 0.001), RIPV (P = 0.029) were more posteriorly directed; whereas LSPV (P = 0.002), and right superior PV (P = 0.043) were more superiorly directed. Incidence of anatomic variations or early branching was not different. This study showed significant anatomical PV differences between patients with PeAF and PAF, in terms of PV orientation, ostial size and ovality. Anticipating such anatomical differences may aid in choosing the adequate catheter design and technology for PeAF ablation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In clinical practice, patient characteristics predicting resistant hypertension (RH) include higher blood pressure levels, left ventricular hypertrophy, older age, obesity, chronic kidney disease and diabetes. On the contrary little is known about the role of serum uric acid (SUA) as a risk factor for RH in subjects from general population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 580 elderly subjects aged ≥65 years were enrolled in the Risk Of Vascular complications Impact of Genetics in Old people (ROVIGO) study. RH was defined as the failure to maintain blood pressure values below 140mmHg (systolic) and 90mmHg (diastolic) despite therapeutic interventions that include appropriate lifestyle measures plus adherence to treatment with full doses of at least three antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic. RH was confirmed using 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurement. Hyperuricemic was defined as the subjects having SUA ≥6.8mg/dl or taking uricosuric drugs. Gender-specific odds ratio (OR) for RH was calculated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of RH was 5.7% in the cohort and was higher in women (8.3%) than in men (3.0%, p<0.05). Independent of chronic kidney disease (OR 3.89, 95% confidence interval 1.49-10.1), hyperuricemia predicted resistant hypertension in women (odds ratio 3.11, 95% confidence intervals 1.06-9.1, p=0.03) but not in men. CONCLUSIONS: In elderly women from the general population, an SUA value of ≥6.8mg/dl triples the risk of RH. SUA assessment should be recommended to better define the pattern of risk associated with RH.
