Relationship between Atrial Tachyarrhythmias and Intrathoracic Impedance in Patients with a Pacemaker and Preserved Ejection Fraction
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Modern pacemakers provide an index of intrathoracic fluid status (OptiVol fluid index-OVFI) by measuring daily intrathoracic impedance. This study aimed to determine whether OVFI is associated with increased atrial tachycardia/fibrillation (AT/AF) events in patients with a preserved ejection fraction (EF). We retrospectively reviewed data from patients with Medtronic Advisa pacemakers between 2012 and 2014 in our hospital. The association and temporal relationship between OVFI and AT/AF events were determined. A total of 150 patients with 211 follow-up visits (mean 1.4 visits per patient) were evaluated. The device-detected AT/AF prevalence was 47%. Device-measured OVFI ≥ 20 Ω-days was significantly associated with the onset of AT/AF ≥ 4 h. OVFI threshold crossing preceded AT/AF events in 55.1% of cases, followed by AT/AF events in only 18.7%. Fluid overload represented by OVFI may trigger AT/AF episodes in patients with a preserved EF more often than that previously reported in patients with a reduced EF. Our findings support the view that worsening pulmonary congestion is associated with increased AT/AF frequency and suggests that fluid overload could trigger and perpetuate AT/AF events in patients with a preserved EF.
