RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Management of atrial fibrillation is frequently geared toward improving symptoms. Yet, the magnitude of symptom-rhythm discordance is not well known in the setting of monitoring by ambulatory electrocardiography (AECG). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to quantify the symptom-rhythm correlation (SRC) for atrial arrhythmia (atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation [AT/AF]) events. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of AECG data at a tertiary care center. All AECGs of ≥7 days with at least 1 AT/AF were included. Patient-triggered symptoms included shortness of breath, tiredness, palpitations, dizziness, or passing out with or without concurrent AT/AF. SRC was calculated for each patient. In addition, AT/AF-symptom association was evaluated at the event level by multivariable mixed effects logistic regression. RESULTS: We identified 742 patients with qualifying AECG data; mean age was 64 years, 50% were female, and 22% had heart failure. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 2.5. There were 6289 symptomatic events and 6900 AT/AF episodes. Of symptomatic events, 1013 (16%) had shortness of breath, 839 (13%) tiredness, 2640 (42%) palpitations, 783 (12%) dizziness, and 93 (1%) passing out. Overall SRC was 0.39 (range, 0-1.0), but presence of AT/AF increased odds of symptoms by ∼8.3 times in adjusted analyses (P < .01). In multivariable analysis, prior AF rhythm control treatment and lower heart rate were associated with worse SRC (P < .01). CONCLUSION: Whereas AT/AF events increase the chances of symptoms, there is poor overall correlation between symptomatic events and documented AT/AF. Patient factors and prior treatments influence SRC. An improved understanding of this relationship correlation is needed to optimize clinical outcomes and to improve the rigor of AF research.
