Previous studies have described that certain clinical characteristics such as age, obesity, the type of AF, and imaging-based factors, such as left atrial (LA) volume, mean density (calculated as the average of Hounsfield Units values in a certain región of interest), and volume of cardiac adipose tissue, may increase the risk of recurrence following pulmonary vein ablation.

Clinical variables such as age, gender, comorbidities, medications used after ablation, type of AF, and radiological variables obtained from volumetric segmentation of CT studies were collected. Radiological variables included LA volume, mean density, and volume of epicardial, periatrial, and interatrial adipose tissue. The occurrence or absence of AF recurrence within 12 months after ablation was also recorded. These variables were subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis to evaluate the risk of recurrence.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among the total number of included patients, 40 had paroxysmal AF and 12 had persistent AF. During the follow-up period, 12 patients (23.1%) experienced AF recurrence, while 40 patients (76.9%) remained in sinus rhythm. There were statistically significant differences in LA volume based on the type of AF, with higher volumes observed in patients with persistent AF (119.16 +/− 32.38 cc) compared to the rest (90.99 +/− 28.34 cc).
