Данные, записанные устройством, сопоставляли с дневниками симптомов, которые вели все пациенты.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: в течение периода наблюдения, составившего 24 месяца, у 17 (40%) пациентов из группы катетерной аблации и у 33 (71,8%) пациентов из группы ААТ отмечались рецидивы ФП, из которых у 4 (23,5%) пациентов из группы катетерной аблации и у 1 (3%) пациента из группы ААТ пароксизмы носили бессимптомный характер. Только 30% зарегистрированных ИКМ эпизодов в группе катетерной аблации ФП + ИКМ и 78% эпизодов у пациентов, получающих ААТ+ИКМ, соответствовали истинным пароксизмам ФП.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение: состояние ритма не соответствует симптомам пациента в отношении фибрилляции предсердий, что проявляется у 70% пациентов после катетерной аблации и 22% после ААТ. Бессимптомная ФП чаще встречается у пациентов в группе катетерной аблации (23,5%) по сравнению с группой пациентов, получающих ААТ (3%). Субьективная оценка симптомов пациентами в отношении аритмии не соответствует истинному состоянию ритма сердца и не может быть использована для оценки эффективности лечения.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Purpose</title><p>Purpose: to reveal a correlation between the symptoms and heart rhythm as well as to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with paroxysmal AF after catheter ablation and antiarrhythmic drug therapy (AAD) through long-term observation based on data from implantable cardiac heart monitors (ICM).</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Materials and Methods: 92 patients with paroxysmal AF were randomly broken into two groups: 1) AF catheter ablation + ICM (Group I; n=46); 2) AAD + ICM (Group II; n=46). The data recorded by the device were matched against the symptoms diaries kept by the patients.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: through the follow-up period (24 months), 17 (40%) patients of the catheter ablation Group and another 33 (71.8%) patients belonging to the AAD Group had AF relapse, whereas in 4 (23.5%) patients of the catheter ablation group and in 1 (3%) patients of the AAD group the paroxysms were asymptomatic. Only 30% of episodes recorded by the ICM in the AF catheter ablation + ICM Group and 78% of episodes in patients receiving AAD + ICM were found to be true AF paroxysms.</p></sec><sec><title>Summary</title><p>Summary: the rhythm status did not match the patients’ symptoms in terms of AF, which was observed in 70% of the cases after catheter ablation and in 22% of cases in the AAD group. Asymptomatic AF was more common among the patients belonging to the catheter ablation group (23.5%) if compared to those who underwent AAD (3%). The subjective evaluation of the symptoms done by the patients regarding their arrhythmia did not reflect the true state of things related to the heart rhythm, which makes such evaluation not reliable if employed to judge the treatment efficiency.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>пароксизмальная фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>имплантируемые кардиомониторы</kwd><kwd>катетерная аблация</kwd><kwd>антиаритмическая терапия</kwd><kwd>симптомная и бессимптомная фибрилляция предсердий</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>paroxysmal atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>implantable  cardiac monitors</kwd><kwd>catheter  ablation</kwd><kwd>antiarrhythmic  drug  therapy</kwd><kwd>symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial fibrillation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Chugh S.S., Blackshear J.L., Shen W.K., et al.
