Impact of cryoballoon-guided pulmonary vein isolation on non-invasive autonomic tests in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) modulates the intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS). We evaluated the impact of PVI on 5 non-invasive autonomic tests. Methods: Thirty patients (76% male, mean age 60.37 ± 9.02 years) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent cryoballoon...
