Summary

A total of 164 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, who are planned to undergo treatment with cryoballoon ablation, will be randomly allocated into two groups. These patients will receive circumferential pulmonary vein isolation, circumferential pulmonary vein and left atrial roof linear isolation using cryoballoon ablation(allocation ratio, 1:1). Patients in each group will be randomly allocated into the statin treatment group and non-statin treatment group (allocation ratio, 1:1). Real-time 3D ultrasound and 2D ultrasound examinations and measurement of left atrial function are carried out for all patients before the operation, and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the operation. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography will be carried out in all patients to measure the left atrial appendage function. All ultrasound data will be stored and a professional director from the ultrasound room will be invited for quantitative analysis. Indicators for ultrasonography include: left atrial anterior and posterior diameter, left atrial volume, left atrial volume index, mitral e ", E peak, A peak, velocity time integral (VTI), left atrial ejection fraction, left atrial strain, strain rate and left atrial appendage emptying velocity. Blood samples are extracted in all patients to detect routine blood, troponin I, D-D dimer, oral anticoagulant monitoring and other biochemical parameters such as blood lipids before the operation and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and 1, 2 and 3 months after the operation. This study will clarify whether these different operation methods have different effects on the recovery of postoperative left atrial function in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, and whether changes in left atrial function are related to indicators such as inflammation, blood clotting and myocardial injury. Furthermore, this study will investigate whether the application of statin drugs can improve postoperative left atrial function by affecting these indicators. In addition, the operation method has been improved targeting at the disadvantage of the greater amount of X-ray exposure during cryoballoon ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation is combined with left atrial roof linear isolation，and related indicators such as the success rate of the operation, intraoperative complications, postoperative recurrence rate and the amount of x-ray exposure are compared among two groups. At the same time, biochemical indicators of inflammation, blood clotting and myocardial injury such as blood routine, myocardial enzyme, troponin I and D-D dimmer are detected to analyze and determine which indicators are related to the postoperative recurrence of atrial fibrillation, the incidence of postoperative thrombosis and the recovery of postoperative left atrial function.
