摘要
背景/目的:消融方式在其作用机制、组织特异性和附带效应方面有所不同,特别是对心脏-自主神经系统。本研究旨在通过汇总分析比较脉冲场消融(PFA)与热消融(TA)对心房颤动(AF)患者的自主神经效应。方法:到2025年4月5日,对PubMed和Embase进行系统检索,以确定比较研究。主要终点是消融后心率(IHR)的增加,次要终点是血清S100B (IS100B)的增加,这是神经损伤的标志。结果:纳入8项研究,共1007例房颤患者(平均年龄:63,39±10.75岁,女性36.3%,最长随访时间:12个月)。基线特征,包括抗心律失常药物的使用,在PFA组和TA组之间相似。合并分析显示,与TA相比,PFA与IHR显著降低相关(PFA: 4.41±8.86 bpm vs. TA: 10.81±10.46 bpm; p < 0.00001)。这种差异在中期(3-6个月)和长期(12个月)随访中持续存在,并在年龄、性别和不同的TA方式(冷冻球囊vs射频)中保持一致。相应的,PFA后IS100B明显减少(PFA: 33.27±9.46 pg/ml vs. TA: 97.53±31.88 pg/ml; p < 0.00001)。结论:与TA相比,基于pfa的房颤患者肺静脉隔离可导致更小的术后IHR和更少的S100B释放,这表明神经损伤和自主神经系统的破坏更少。这些影响在中长期随访中持续存在,可能对患者选择和个体化消融策略有潜在的影响。
Peri-procedure and Mid-Long Term Effects of Pulsed Field Ablation vs. Thermal Ablation (Cryo- or Radiofrequency) on Autonomic Nervous System Function in Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic and Quantitative Pooled-Analysis with Potential Implications for Patient Selection (The PULSE-COLD-HEAT-ANS Collaboration).
Background/aim: Ablation modalities differ in their mechanisms of action, tissue specificity, and collateral effects-particularly on the cardiac-autonomic-nervous-system. This study aimed to compare the autonomic effects of pulsed field ablation (PFA) versus thermal ablation (TA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) through a pooled-analysis.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed and Embase was conducted through April 5, 2025, to identify comparative studies. The primary outcome was increase-in-heart-rate (IHR) after ablation, and the secondary outcome was increase in serum S100B (IS100B), a marker of neural injury.
Results: Eight studies involving 1007 AF patients were included (mean age: 63,39 ± 10,75 years; 36.3% female; maximum follow-up: 12 months). Baseline characteristics, including the use of antiarrhythmic drugs, were similar between the PFA and TA groups. Pooled-analysis showed that PFA was associated with a significantly lower IHR compared to TA (PFA: 4.41 ± 8.86 bpm vs. TA: 10.81 ± 10.46 bpm; p < 0.00001). This difference persisted at midterm (3-6 months) and long-term (12 months) follow-up and remained consistent across age, sex, and different TA modalities (cryoballoon vs. radiofrequency). Correspondingly, the IS100B was significantly less pronounced after PFA (PFA: 33.27 ± 9.46 pg/ml vs. TA: 97.53 ± 31.88 pg/ml; p < 0.00001).
Conclusions: PFA-based pulmonary-vein-isolation in patients with AF results in a smaller post-procedural IHR and less S100B release, suggesting reduced neural damage and less disruption of the autonomic nervous system compared to TA. These effects are sustained through mid- to long-term follow-up and may have potential implications for patient selection and individualized ablation strategies.
