“…Successful AF ablation has been demonstrated to be associated with significant long-term improvement in QoL irrespective of the type of AF [101,[105][106][107][108]. Wokhlu et al observed that with SF-36 as the assessment tool, betterment in QoL was not dependent on ablation efficacy, and AF ablation produced sustained QoL improvement at 2 years in patients with and without recurrence similarly.…”

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved as a potential curative option for drug-refractory AF in recent years. AF not only causes physical morbidity but also jeopardizes the mental and social health of the patient as well as predisposing the patient to increased risk of thromboembolic events. Therefore, the primary end points of AF ablation have been restoration of sinus rhythm, improvement in the quality of life and lowering the risk of cerebrovascular accidents. However, even in the best hands, AF ablation is yet to be a total success. Several risk factors of AF and parameters of catheter ablation influence the short- and long-term ablation outcome. This article reviews all the information that has been contributed by prominent independent researchers over the last decade.

“…Peinado et al (32) investigated the influence of the type of AF on the patient’s QoL using a different AF-specific questionnaire (Atrial Fibrillation-Quality of Life: AF-QoL) and found that there were no differences in the perceived QoL with respect to the type of AF. However, patients with permanent AF exhibited better QoL in the psychological dimension.…”

“…The discordance of the results of this study with our results may be related to the differences in the instruments used to measure QoL as well as to the different patient characteristics. Peinado et al (32) have enrolled patients referred to arrhythmia specialists, most of whom had paroxysmal or persistent AF. On the other hand, all patients that were included in the present study were ordinary outpatients, and most of them had permanent AF rather than paroxysmal or persistent AF.…”

Objective:The quality of life (QoL) is impaired in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the data on the perceived QoL of patients with different types of AF is limited. In this study, we investigated the QoL of patients with intermittent and chronic AF.Methods:The study was designed as an observational cross-sectional study, and 135 consecutive patients with documented AF admitted to the cardiology outpatient clinic in a tertiary hospital were recruited. The pattern of AF was classified as intermittent or chronic AF. The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) classification and symptom severity score were used to quantify the symptoms related to AF. The QoL was assessed by the Short Form-36 and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Severity in Atrial Fibrillation (SAF) scale.Results:Thirty-nine percent of the patients (n=52) had intermittent AF and 61% (n=83) had chronic AF. In the overall patient population, 92% reported having at least one of the symptoms that can be attributable to AF. Although the prevalence of symptoms were similar in patients with intermittent or chronic AF, the patients with intermittent AF perceived more severe palpitations (symptom severity score 2.4±1.7 vs. 1.5±1.5, p=0.003). Patients with intermittent AF had higher EHRA and SAF scores than the patients with chronic AF (2.6±0.9 vs. 1.9±0.8, p<0.001; 2.5±1.3 vs. 1.7±1.2, p<0.001, respectively).Conclusion:Outpatients with AF have a high prevalence of symptoms and impaired QoL. The impairment of subjective health-related QoL is worse in patients with intermittent AF.
