Table 3.
Multivariable predictor predictors of post-ablation recurrence of atrial fibrillation are shown, by blood pressure treatment group, with corresponding adjusted hazard ratios
| Predictor | Aggressive cohort (n = 88) | Standard cohort (n = 85) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | p value | HR (95% CI) | p value | |
| logNT-proBNP | 1.43 (1.03–1.99) | 0.03 | 0.83 (0.61–1.12) | 0.22 |
| Age | 0.96 (0.92–1.01) | 0.12 | 1.05 (1.01–1.10) | 0.01 |
| Sex | 0.90 (0.40–2.00 | 0.79 | 1.08 (0.47–2.45) | 0.86 |
| SBP | 1.03 (1.00–1.05) | 0.045 | 1.01 (0.98–1.04) | 0.48 |
| LVEF | 1.02 (0.98–1.06) | 0.35 | 1.00 (0.95–1.06) | 0.94 |
| AF type | 0.95 (0.48–1.88) | 0.87 | 1.04 (0.53–2.05) | 0.89 |
Significant results (p < 0.05) are bolded
All characteristics were measured at time of randomization. The aggressive cohort had a target blood pressure of < 120/80 mmHg, and the standard cohort had a target of < 140/90 mmHg
AF, atrial fibrillation; SBP, systolic blood pressure; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction
