| Abstract: | 摘要： Background—The characteristics of atrial electrograms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) termination are controversial. We investigated the electrogram characteristics that indicate procedural AF termination during continuous complex fractionated electrogram ablation.Methods and Results—Fifty-two consecutive patients with persistent AF (47 men; aged 54±9 years), who underwent electrogram-based catheter ablation in the left atrium and coronary sinus after pulmonary vein isolation, were enrolled. The intracardiac bipolar atrial electrogram recordings were characterized by (1) fractionation interval (FI) analysis (>6 seconds), (2) kurtosis (shape of the FI histogram), and (3) skewness (asymmetry of the FI histogram). Sites showing complex, fractionated electrograms (mean FI ≤60 ms) were targeted, and AF was terminated in 20 patients (38%) after the pulmonary vein isolation. The conventional complex fractionated electrogram sites (mean ≤120 ms) in patients with AF termination exhibited higher median kurtosis (2.69 [interquartile range, 2.03–3.46] versus 2.35 [interquartile range, 1.79–2.48];P=0.024) and higher complex fractionated electrogram-mean interval (102.7±19.8 versus 87.7±15.0;P=0.008) than patients without AF termination. Furthermore, AF termination sites had higher median kurtosis than targeted sites without AF termination (5.13 [interquartile range, 3.51–6.47] versus 4.18 [interquartile range, 2.91–5.34];P<0.01) in patients with procedural termination. In addition, patients with AF termination had a higher sinus rhythm maintenance rate after a single procedure than patients without AF termination (log-rank test,P=0.007).Conclusions—A kurtosis analysis using the FI histogram may be a useful tool in identifying the critical substrate for persistent AF and potential responders to catheter ablation.
