Effects on Sinus Rhythm Maintenance and Atrial Remodeling After Cardioversion of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: a Prospective, Multi-center, Cohort Study-stepwise Strategy for Treatment of Atrialfibrillation Substrate Study
Electrical/pharmacological cardioversion improves structural remodeling of left atrium. We hypothesized that radiofrequency ablation surgery for atrial fibrillation has a higher success rate and a lower recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation in patients with improved atrial stroma. This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted in China to evaluate whether sacubitril/valsartan can reduce atrial fibrillation recurrence rates, improve cardiac structure and function, and analyze the factors influencing the maintenance rate of sinus rhythm after atrial fibrillation ablation.
• Aged 18-80 years, with persistent atrial fibrillation complicated by left atrial enlargement (left atrial anteroposterior diameter 40-50mm); Having the willingness to undergo atrial fibrillation cardioversion and planned to receive amiodarone for pharmacological cardioversion; Having signed a written informed consent form for participation in the study; Not concurrently participating in any other interventional studies.
