Abstract: The PA-PDI interval may be a useful parameter to identify patients with PAF. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the usefulness of PA-PDI intervals in diagnosing PAF in addition to the current methods and tools.

“…Chao et al 12 have recently demonstrated that not only LA dimension and peak A-wave velocity but also AEMI is a useful parameter to identify patients with PAF, and the AEMI achieves maximal AUC, which are similar to the findings in our study.

“…[9][10][11] Recently, AEMI has been shown as a useful parameter to identify patients with PAF. 12 However, whether AEMI is useful for prediction of CE in patients with PAF remains unclear. ), which is a useful scoring system for risk stratification of CE, has been reported.…”

“…An alternative approach is to use the spectral analysis to characterize the sinus electrograms, based on the advantage of consistency of the sinus electrograms over time. Previous studies showed that abnormal atrial sites were characterized by fractionated electrograms as shown in the time-domain electrograms, and high frequency peaks in the frequency domain analysis during SR [11][12][13][14][15]. According to Pachon's study [35], the high DF sites (or AF nest) were identified by visual inspection of the frequency spectra, especially in the high frequency range of greater than 80 Hz.…”

“…Further, atrial remodeling with a progressive decrease in the global LA voltage and longer activation time were demonstrated in patients with recurrent atrial arrhythmias [10]. Patients with hyperglycemia [11], decreased renal function (GFR Ͻ 60 ml/min) [12], higher CHADS 2 score ( 2) [13], potential high inflammatory state (high sensitive CRP Ͼ 2.92 mg/l, Figure 28.3) [14] and heart failure [15] were independently associated with abnormal atrial substrate, as indicated by lower voltage, longer activation time and a higher proportion of the high DF areas during SR. The patients with recurrent AF after ablation had a lower LA voltage and higher incidence of LA scarring than did those without recurrence.…”

“…[8] In a previous study which enrolled 103 AF and 194 non-AF patients, atrial electromechanical interval, not LA size, is able to identify subjects with AF among those having a small LA. [9] Therefore, we hypothesized that the electromechanical interval may be longer in patients with an increased volume of PCF. It may serve as a convenient tool, which could be more sensitive than LA volume, in reflecting the extent of LA injury due to the adverse effects of PCF.…”
