{"title":"An emerging role of inflammatory biomarker (suPAR) for prognostic evaluation of atrial fibrillation","authors":"Nihar Jena MD","doi":"10.1002/joa3.70116","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/joa3.70116","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a chronic cardiovascular condition that poses a significant global challenge due to difficulties in identification and treatment. The global burden of AFib and atrial flutter has been rising over the past decade, with a prevalence of 52.5 million reported in 2021 and 10.55 million reported in the United States in 2019.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Although various risk scores, such as CHAD2-VASc and HAS-BLED, as well as inflammatory biomarkers like C-reactive protein (CRP), are available, there is a need for further research in this area. This research could enhance our ability to prognosticate both short-term and long-term outcomes for individuals with AFib. Wisborg et al.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; provided a timely and thought-provoking prospective analysis of AFib patients admitted to the emergency department with elevated soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels, showing an increased all-cause mortality at 1 year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The novel biomarker suPAR has been identified as a stable biomarker for cardiovascular disease associated with chronic inflammation. suPAR is a cleaved product of plasminogen activator receptor and a component of the fibrinolytic system, which is usually formed due to an immunological response to inflammation from the cell surface.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Various studies have shown promising results for predicting long-term cardiovascular outcomes like acute myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and coronary calcifications.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4, 5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; In a study by Ichihara, the prevalence of suPAR level was shown to be higher in nonparoxysmal AFib patients.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This prospective cohort study, comprising 339 patients, showed higher mortality in the patient group with a higher level of suPAR. The authors depicted a 12% mortality increase per unit ng/mL increase in suPAR despite adjusting for age, sex, smoking, creatinine, and another inflammatory biomarker like CRP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This study highlights the importance of suPAR in AFib for several compelling reasons. First, stratifying high-risk AFib patients based on a higher level of suPAR can help determine the level of care and predict outcomes in patients presenting to the emergency department or inpatient setting. Second, suPAR has a longer half-life than other cardiac biomarkers, making it a more reliable long-term prognostic marker, especially given the often delayed presentation and chronic nature of AFib.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The study is well-designed and has an adequate sample size with a statistically significant outcome. The statistical modeling is robust, and the variables were adjusted using multivariate Cox regression, along with adjustments for other variables. Nonetheless, the major limitation is that the study is a prospective analysis in a single center, so generalizability is questionable. Furthermore, the cause of death was not pinpointed to cardiovascular etiology, making it challenging to determine whether","PeriodicalId":15174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arrhythmia","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joa3.70116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Editorial to “Initial experiences and technical insights of pulmonary vein isolation with FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation in patients implanted with WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure devices: The first report in Japan”","authors":"Masato Fukunaga MD","doi":"10.1002/joa3.70105","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/joa3.70105","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Editorial comment on “Initial experiences and technical insights of pulmonary vein isolation with FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation in patients implanted with WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure devices: The first report in Japan.”&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has recently emerged as a promising technique for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, rapidly gaining popularity due to its favorable safety and efficacy profile. Unlike conventional thermal ablation, PFA devices exhibit significant variation in catheter design, workflow, and clinical evidence—differences that may be even more pronounced across platforms. Notably, among current systems, only the FARAPULSE PFA system (Boston Scientific) can be used in patients with a preexisting left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device, according to the instructions for use. While PFA can theoretically be applied in such settings, metallic interference between the PFA catheter and LAAC device remains a potential procedural challenge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a recent issue of the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Arrhythmia&lt;/i&gt;, Chatani et al.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; presented a small case series demonstrating the feasibility of PFA in patients with prior WATCHMAN device implantation (3 months–2 years postimplantation), under intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance. In Case 2 of their report, catheter artifact interference was observed when the FARAWAVE catheter was configured in its flower formation. This issue was resolved by adjusting catheter depth and position posteriorly. The LAAC device in that case was implanted proximally, protruding 4.4 mm from the ridge of the left superior pulmonary vein. The authors also noted that the Amplatzer Amulet device may pose a higher risk of interference due to its design. Importantly, all cases were completed without procedural complications, supporting the feasibility of PFA in this population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite this success, certain concerns persist. Metal artifact interference remains a technical hurdle, particularly in anatomically complex or combined procedures. The concept of a combined AF ablation and LAAC—often termed the “one-stop procedure”—has gathered increasing interest. The OPTION trial evaluated LAAC as an alternative to oral anticoagulation in patients post-AF ablation. The trial permitted both concomitant LAAC (within 10 days of ablation) and delayed LAAC (90–180 days postablation). Results demonstrated that LAAC was associated with a lower incidence of nonprocedure-related major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding, and it was noninferior to oral anticoagulation for a composite endpoint of all-cause death, stroke, or systemic embolism at 36 months.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; While these findings have not yet led to widespread procedural changes, the combined approach remains appealing to both clinicians and patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ongoing OPTION-A trial (NCT06686485), a prospective, single-arm, multicenter postmarket study, is the first to formally e","PeriodicalId":15174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arrhythmia","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joa3.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
