概要	*Session Title: Atrial fibrillation ablation - New tools and strategies for lesion creation and evaluation Background: The estimated total atrial conduction time measured using tissue Doppler imaging of the atria (PATDI duration) has been proposed as a marker of atrial remodeling. Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of the echocardiographic parameters, including the PA­TDI duration, obtained before paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures, to predict atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrences after the procedure. Methods and Results: We enrolled 294 consecutive patients (60±11 years; 213 men) with paroxysmal AF who underwent AF ablation and measured the pre­procedural PA­TDI duration. All patients underwent a circumferential pulmonary vein isolation without either an empiric substrate modification or empiric left atrial linear ablation. During 38±21 months of follow­up after the final procedure (two procedures in 31%, three in 3%), 39 (13%) patients had atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrences. Eighteen patients who did not undergo repeat procedures despite AF recurrences after the first session were excluded from the analysis. A multivariate Cox regression analysis including the age, gender, structural heart disease, left atrial volume index, and PA­TDI duration as variables, demonstrated that the PA­TDI duration was an independent predictor of a recurrence (p<0.0001). The optimal cut­off value of the PA­TDI duration for predicting a recurrence was >151.0ms, with a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 65%, and negative predictive value of 99%. Recurrences after repeat procedures were significantly higher in the patients with a PA­TDI duration >151.0ms compared to those with a PA­TDI duration <151.0ms (Log­rank; p<0.0001). The patients with a PA­TDI duration >151ms had a 13­ fold (p<0.0001) increase in the probability of recurrent AF as compared to the patients with a PA­TDI duration <151ms. Conclusion: The PA­TDI duration was a useful predictor of recurrences after ablation procedures in patients with paroxysmal AF.
