Abstract
BACKGROUND: To investigate the changes of P wave indices in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients after catheter ablation and the association between P wave indices and AF recurrence. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Database were searched through September 15th 2021 for studies on the association between P wave indices and AF with catheter ablation. Heterogeneity was estimated using the I2 statistic, the random effects model was used to calculate the pooled results, and summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value. RESULTS: Among included fourteen studies with 1674 AF patients, we found significantly decreased P wave dispersion (Pdis) (mean difference [MD]: - 6.5 ms, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: - 11.81 to - 1.18, P = 0.02) after cryoballoon ablation (CBA) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and maximum P wave (Pmax) (MD: - 8.57 ms, 95% CI: - 17.03 to - 0.10, P = 0.05) after RFA only, but increased minimum P wave (Pmin) (MD: 3.43 ms, 95% CI: 1.07 to 5.79, P < 0.01) after CBA only. Pdis measured before ablation was remarkably higher (MD: 5.79 ms, 95% CI: 2.23 to 9.36, P < 0.01) in patients with recurrence than without; meanwhile, Pmax was higher measured both before and after ablation (MD: 6.49 ms, 95% CI: 2.30 to 10.69, P < 0.01 and MD: 11.2 ms, 95% CI: 2.88 to 19.52, P < 0.01). Furthermore, SROC analysis showed acceptable predictive efficiencies of Pdis (AUC = 0.776) and Pmax (AUC = 0.759) for AF recurrence. CONCLUSION: Pdis was significantly decreased after AF catheter ablation. Higher Pdis and Pmax may have predictive values for AF recurrence.
