Biomarkers in Pulsed Field Ablation Versus Cryoballoon Ablation

Overview

Our study will include consecutive patients undergoing pulsed field ablation (PFA) or cryoballoon (CBA) ablation. Tissue injury and inflammation markers will be measured before and after the procedure.

Study population: The participants with symptomatic atrial fibrillation scheduled for PFA or CBA procedures Biomarkers of interest: high-sensitive troponin, CRP, NT-proBNP Data collection: Blood samples will be collected at baseline, immediately after the procedure, 24 hours after, and three months after. Statistical analysis: Comparisons of biomarker levels between PFA and CBA groups. Results: Comparison of biomarker levels between PFA and CBA groups at each time point. Changes in biomarker levels over time within each group. Correlation analysis between biomarker levels and clinical outcomes, such as AF recurrence, LA stiffness, complications, and hospitalization.
