Change in Inflammatory State in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation


Sponsor

Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico

Enrollment

180 participants

Start Date

Jul 11, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

It is a non-pharmacological (biological), spontaneous observational study. The main objective is to evaluate the correlation between inflammation markers and local adiposity, clinical risk factors and their possible variation following an AF ablation procedure


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 85 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Paroxysmal or persistent AF;
  • Patients undergoing ESC/ERAH(European Society of Cardiology/European Heart Rhythm Association) approved catheter ablation procedures;
  • Aged between 18 and 85 years;
  • Ability to provide informed consent for study participation.

Exclusion Criteria8

  • Age \> 85 years or \< 18 years;
  • Presence of left auricular thrombosis on pre-procedural transesophageal echocardiogram;
  • NYHA functional class IV;
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction \<30%;
  • Myocardial infarction or unstable angina or recent coronary artery bypass graft (\<6 months);
  • Significant co-morbidity, such as cancer, severe renal failure requiring dialysis, severe obstructive pulmonary disease, cirrhosis, with a life expectancy of less than 12 months;
  • Presence of contraindications to the procedure;
  • Inability to provide informed consent for study participation.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMarkers of inflammation and fibrosis

Will be analyzed the following inflammation markers: Interleukin 6, N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen (P1NP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), GlycA, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 and omega-3 fatty acids.
