| Popis: | PURPOSE Evaluation of the impact of catheter ablation for ventricular extrasystoles (VES) in structurally normal hearts on quality of life (QOL) and symptomatology. METHODS Symptom analysis assessed with a disease-specific questionnaire, EHRA score for AF, and QOL analysis at baseline and 1 year after ablation. RESULTS The study enrolled 39 patients between April 2016 and November 2019. Two patients were excluded from further analysis. At baseline, palpitations were reported in 31/37 (84%); syncope in 12/37 (32%); other cardiac symptoms in 33/37 (89%) of patients. The EHRA score was 3 or 4 in 13 patients (35%). With the modified arrhythmia-specific questionnaire (MASQ) psychological and physical scores were 46 and 39%. The overall perception of health in the SF-36 was 56 ± 16%. Ablation was performed in 35/37 (95%). At regular follow-up, symptoms were reported in 14/37 (38%) patients. ECG suggested a good procedural outcome in 65% with VES burden on Holter |
