“…Previous studies have demonstrated that the BNP level can be a useful marker for evaluating the efficacy of PVI in AF patients. [2][3][4] This study also demonstrated that the BNP level could be a useful marker for evaluating the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with recurrent AF after PVI.…”

“…In all cases, circumferential PVI targeting the PV antrum potentials of 3 to 4 PVs was performed using a 31 mm multielectrode basket catheter (MBC) (Constellation TM , EP Technologies, Boston Scientific Corpo- ration, San Jose, CA, USA) as previously reported. 4) Radiofrequency energy was delivered with a target temperature of 55°C and maximum power output of 40 W for 60 seconds (EPT-1000TC generator, EP Technologies), using an 8-mm tip catheter (Blazer II 5770T, EP Technologies). Successful PVI was defined as either the abolition or dissociation of the distal PV potentials.…”

“…24 However, Nakamura 25 and other researchers 26 showed BNP level elevated in AF patients. Nevertheless, when AF is restored to SR, BNP showing a significant decrease has gained wide www.jafib.com 11 Jan-Feb, 2010 | Vol 2 | Issue 4 attention [27][28][29] However, all of these study cohorts featured cardiac conditions associated with heart failure, which have been confirmed to be related to elevated BNP [30][31][32] that would inevitably affect AF itself. All patients in the present study had AF alone.…”

“…Kurosaki K. и соавт. [9] предложили исполь-зовать определение концентрации BNP в качестве про-гностического маркера эффективности проведенной ка-тетерной аблации пациентам с персистирующей фор-мой ФП. Авторы сделали вывод, что наличие высокой концентрации BNP является независимым фактором риска раннего рецидива аритмии после выполнения процедуры.…”
