Abstract
Background: The impact of comorbidity burden on outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how comorbidity burden influences the association between RFCA and cardiovascular outcomes in AF patients with HFpEF.
Methods: AF patients with HFpEF from the prospective China-AF cohort, recruited between August 2011 and December 2020, were categorized into 2 groups based CHA2DS2-VASc score: low comorbidity burden (score ≤4) and high comorbidity burden (score >4). The associations between RFCA and cardiovascular outcomes and interaction effects of comorbidity burden on these associations were assessed.
Results: Among 1700 patients with median follow-up of 65.9 months, those in the low comorbidity burden group who received RFCA had a lower risk of composite events (cardiovascular death and ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack [TIA]) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21-0.59] and all-cause death (adjusted HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.17-0.54) compared to those without RFCA. However, significant associations were not observed in the high comorbidity burden group. The differences between low and high comorbidity burden groups were significant, with interaction effects noted between comorbidity burden and RFCA for cardiovascular death (Pinteraction = 0.045) and ischemic stroke/TIA (Pinteraction = 0.010). RFCA was associated with a reduced risk of AF recurrence in both comorbidity burden groups.
Conclusion: RFCA for AF is associated with reduced AF recurrence and improved cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFpEF. However, these benefits may be limited for patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score >4 (high comorbidity burden).
