Incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia and its association with long-term outcome
Background
Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. We sought to investigate the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with electrophysiologically confirmed/ablated AVNRT and its association with transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke as well as mortality during long-term follow-up.
Methods
From the Karolinska Ablation Registry, 2855 consecutive patients with a first-time ablation for AVNRT between 2005 and 2018 were analyzed.
Results
Patients were 52.1 ± 15.9 years old and 59.3% were women. During follow-up of up to 10 years (median 6.0 years; interquartile range 3.3 to 9.2 years), new onset or recurrence of atrial fibrillation occurred in 317 (11.1%) patients (incidence rate 19 cases per 1000 person-years). Excluding those with history of atrial fibrillation, new onset of atrial fibrillation occurred in 153 (6.1%) patients. In multivariable analysis, history of atrial fibrillation, arterial hypertension, history of TIA/stroke, and heart failure remained independently associated with new onset or recurrence of atrial fibrillation during follow-up. Death of any cause and TIA/stroke occurred in 141 (4.9%) patients and 107 (3.7%) patients, respectively. In multivariable analysis, occurrence of atrial fibrillation during follow-up remained independently associated with both outcomes. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation according to age at the end of follow-up was high among young patients (<60 years of age: 12.7%; 60–69 years of age: 10.6%).
Conclusion
In this large cohort of patients with diagnosed AVNRT, the incidence of atrial fibrillation was high (11.1%) during long-term follow-up. Occurrence of atrial fibrillation during follow-up remained independently associated with death for any cause as well as with TIA/stroke. Therefore, a closer monitoring for atrial fibrillation in patients with AVNRT including those at young age is advisable.
