  • BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) promotes atrial remodeling that in turn promote AF perpetuation. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of AF history length on one-year outcome of AF catheter ablation in a cohort of patients enrolled in the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Registry.METHODS: We described the real-life clinical epidemiology, therapeutic strategies and the short- and mid-term outcomes of 1948 patients (71.9% with paroxysmal AF) undergoing AF ablation procedures, stratified according to AF history duration (< 2 years or ≥ 2 years).RESULTS: The mean AF history duration was 46,2±57,4 months, 592 patients had an AF history duration < 2 years (mean 10,2±5,9 months), and 1356 patients ≥ 2 years (mean 75,5±63,5 months) (P < 0.001). Patients with AF history duration < 2 years were younger, had a lower incidence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and had a lower CHA2 DS2 -VaSc Score. At one year, the logrank test showed a lower incidence of AF recurrence in patients with AF history duration < 2 years (28.9%) than in patients with AF history duration ≥ 2 years (34.0%) (P = 0.037). AF history duration ≥ 2 years, overall ablation procedure duration, hypertension and chronic kidney disease were all predictors of recurrences after the blanking period.CONCLUSIONS: In this multicenter registry, performing catheter ablation in patients with an AF history ≥ 2 years was associated with higher rates of AF recurrences at one year. Since cumulative time in AF in not necessarily equivalent to AF history, its role remains to be clarified.
