Diabetes mellitus has been reported to be an independent risk factor of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present study investigated the atrial substrate properties and clinical outcome of catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal AF and abnormal glucose metabolism. A total of 228 patients with paroxysmal AF who had undergone catheter ablation for the first time were enrolled. An abnormal glucose metabolism (n = 65) was defined as diabetes mellitus or an impaired fasting glucose. We analyzed the clinical and electrophysiologic characteristics in, and the clinical outcome of, patients with AF with and without an abnormal glucose metabolism. The right atrial (107.2 +/- 15.4 vs 96.0 +/- 16.5 ms, p
