Role of Preablation Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio on Outcomes of Cryoballoon-Based Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has recently emerged as better indicator of inflammation and oxidative stress and has been widely studied in several cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the role of the preablation NLR in atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after cryoball...

Zusammenfassung:The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has recently emerged as better indicator of inflammation and oxidative stress and has been widely studied in several cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we evaluated the role of the preablation NLR in atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after cryoballoon-based catheter ablation. A total of 251 patients (47.8% women, age 54.12 ± 10.9 years, 80.1% with paroxysmal AF) with symptomatic AF underwent cryoablation. At a mean follow-up of 19.0 ± 6.6 months, 60 patients (23.9%) had developed AF recurrence. The patients who developed AF recurrence had had a greater preablation NLR (3.53 ± 0.95 vs 2.65 ± 0.23, p
