Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate impact of metabolic syndrome (MS) on outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in terms of recurrence and quality of life (QoL).Background MS, a proinflammatory state with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity, is presumed to be a close associate of AF.Methods In this prospective study, 1,496 consecutive patients with AF undergoing first ablation (29% with paroxysmal AF, 26% with persistent AF, and 45% with long-standing persistent AF) were classified into those with MS (group 1; n = 485) and those without MS (group 2; n = 1,011). Patients were followed for recurrence and QoL. The Medical Outcomes Study SF-36 Health Survey was used to assess QoL at baseline and 12 month after ablation.Results After 21 +/- 7 months of follow-up, 189 patients in group 1 (39%) and 319 in group 2 (32%) had arrhythmia recurrence (p = 0.005). When stratified by AF type, patients with nonparoxysmal AF in group 1 failed more frequently compared with those in group 2 (150 [46%] vs. 257 [35%], p = 0.002); no difference existed in the subgroup with paroxysmal AF (39 [25%] vs. 62 [22%], p = 0.295). Group 1 patients had significantly lower baseline scores on all SF-36 Health Survey subscales. At follow-up, both mental component summary (Delta 5.7 +/- 2.5, p < 0.001) and physical component summary (Delta 9.1 +/- 3.7, p < 0.001) scores improved in group 1, whereas only mental component summary scores (Delta 4.6 +/- 2.8, p = 0.036) were improved in group 2. In the subgroup with nonparoxysmal AF, MS, sex, C-reactive protein >= 0.9 mg/dl, and white blood cell count were independent predictors of recurrence.Conclusions Baseline inflammatory markers and the presence of MS predicted higher recurrence after single-catheter ablation only in patients with nonparoxysmal AF. Additionally, significant improvements in QoL were observed in the post-ablation MS population. (J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;59:1295-301) (C) 2012 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation
