Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the risk factors for adverse outcomes in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrilla-tion(AF)after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure(LAAC)combined with radiofrequency ablation(RFA).Meth-ods:A total of 199 elderly AF patients who admitted in Department of Cardiology,Yuhuangding Hospital between Jan 1st,2019 and Aug 17th,2023 and underwent LAAC combined RFA were enrolled.The patients were divided into case group(n=78)and control group(n=121)according to presence of atrial arrhythmia and/or cerebral infarction(CI)within one year after operation.Baseline clinical data,laboratory indexes and color Doppler ultrasound indexes were compared be-tween the two groups,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for postoperative atrial ar-rhythmia and/or CI.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed to analyze the predictive efficacy of risk factors for atrial arrhythmia and/or CI after operation.Results:Univariate analysis indicated that compared with pa-tients in control group,those in case group had significant higher proportions of preoperative persistent atrial fibrillation(52.60％ vs.37.20％),old myocardial infarction(OMI)(11.50％vs.1.70％)and left atrial diameter(LAD)[(45.47±6.90)mm vs.(43.34±6.64)mm](P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated history of OMI(OR=8.736,95％CI 1.772～43.069,P=0.008)and LAD(OR=1.053,95％CI 1.006～1.102,P=0.027)were independent risk factors of adverse outcomes in elderly AF patients after LAAC+RFA.ROC analysis indicated that predic-tive efficacy of combined detection of OMI and LAD(AUC=0.663,95％CI 0.593～0.728)for adverse outcomes within 1 year in elderly AF patients after LAAC+RFA was significantly better than those of OMI(AUC=0.549,95％CI 0.477～0.620)and LAD(AUC=0.602,95％CI 0.531～0.671)alone(Z=3.045,2.312,P=0.002,0.021).Conclusion:His-tory of old myocardial infarction and left atrial diameter are independent risk factors for atrial arrhythmia and/or cerebral infarction within 1 year after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure combined with radiofrequency ablation in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation,and the combination has good predictive performance.
