简要总结
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is defined as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with uncoordinated atrial electrical activation and consequently ineffective atrial contraction. Electrocardiographic characteristics of AF include: irregularly irregular R-R intervals (when atrioventricular conduction is not impaired), absence of distinct repeating P waves, and irregular atrial activations.
Different AF classifications have been proposed but, traditionally, four patterns of AF are distinguished, based on presentation, duration, and spontaneous termination of AF episodes. Paroxysmal AF, that terminates spontaneously or with intervention within 7 days of onset. Persistent AF that is continuously sustained beyond 7 days, including episodes terminated by cardioversion (drugs or electrical cardioversion) after >7 days. Long-standing persistent (continuous AF of >12 months' duration) when decided to adopt a rhythm control strategy. Permanent AF, that is accepted by the patient and physician, and no further attempts to restore/maintain sinus rhythm will be undertaken.
The purpose of this study is to perform assessments of local impedance before and after cryoablation performed with the new POLAR X cryoballoon, in order to characterize the quality of the lesion and possibly to associate it with the acute success and 12 months AF recurrence-free rate.

结局指标
主要结局
local impedance drop
时间窗: 6 months
The primary endpoint of the study is the local impedance drop, measured as the difference between local impedance recorded by the rhythmic HDx mapping system at baseline and after PVI (pulmonary vein isolation) . For the primary endpoint assessment, impedance data will be analyzed offline and grouped per 4 anatomical segments around each pulmonary vein (PV). Absolute values of local impedance measured at baseline and after PVI, as well as local impedance drops will be also compared according to lesion success and according to the value of conventional predictors of successful cryo-lesions (e.g. TTI ( time to isolation ) \< 60 s).
次要结局
- failure-free rate at 12 months(12 months.)
