BACKGROUND: The relationship between @entity432 ( @entity432 ) and @entity955 ( @entity955 ) incidence is well-known. In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between @entity432 parameters and @entity955 occurence as well as @entity955 recurrence post catheter ablation (CA) in @entity1 with paroxysmal @entity955 (PAF). METHODS: We enrolled 103 @entity1 with PAF diagnosis and 103 control subjects with similar demographic characteristics. We measured @entity432 parameters and @entity551 ( @entity551 ) parameters by an oscillometric device in both groups. In the @entity1 group 51 @entity1 underwent CA for @entity955 and recurrence rates at 3 and 6 months postprocedurally were recorded. @entity432 parameters were compared between @entity1 with and without @entity955 recurrence. RESULTS: In the PAF @entity1 group central systolic pressure, central diastolic pressure, central pulse pressure, augmentation pressure, augmentation index, and pulse wave velocity were significantly higher than in the control group (for each listed parameter P<0.05). @entity432 parameters were not associated with @entity955 recurrence post CA. Left atrial size (LAS) was found as an independent predictor for recurrence in multivariate analysis (0: 2.30; P = 0.02; OR: 9.97; 95% CI [1.28-77.48]). CONCLUSION: Increased @entity432 is associated with PAF occurence. Nevertheless, LAS, a traditional risk factor, was the most powerful predictor for recurrence post CA; whereas @entity432 or @entity551 were not associated with recurrence.
