- W2073015884 abstract "Objectives. This study sought to determine whether left atrial appendage stunning occurs in patients with atrial flutter and to compare left atrial appendage function in the pericardioversion period with that in patients with atrial fibrillation. Background. Left atrial appendage stunning has recently been proposed as a key mechanistic phenomenon in the etiology of postcardioversion thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation. Atrial flutter is thought to be associated with a negligible risk of thromboembolic events; therefore, anticoagulation is commonly withheld before and after cardioversion in these patients. Methods. Sixty-three patients with atrial flutter (n = 19) or atrial fibrillation (n = 44) underwent transesophageal echocardiography immediately before and after electrical cardioversion. In addition to assessing the presence of thrombus and spontaneous echo contrast, we measured left atrial appendage emptying velocity and calculated shear rates by pulsed wave Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography. Results. Patients with atrial flutter exhibited greater left atrial appendage flow velocities before cardioversion than those with atrial fibrillation (42 ± 19 vs. 28 ± 15 cm/s [mean ± SD], p < 0.001). Left atrial appendage shear rates were also higher in patients with atrial flutter (103 ± 82 vs. 59 ± 37 s−1, p < 0.001). After cardioversion, left atrial appendage flow velocities decreased compared with precardioversion values in patients with atrial fibrillation (28 ± 15 before to 15 ± 14 cm/s after cardioversion, p < 0.001) and atrial flutter (42 ± 19 to 27 ± 18 cm/s, respectively, p < 0.001). Shear rates decreased from 59 ± 37 before cardioversion to 30 ± 31 s−1after cardioversion in atrial fibrillation (p < 0.001), and from 103 ± 82 s to 65 ± 52 s−1, respectively (p < 0.001), in atrial flutter. This decrease in flow velocity from before to after cardioversion occurred in 36 (82%) of 44 patients with atrial fibrillation and 14 (74%) of 19 with atrial flutter. The impaired left atrial appendage function after cardioversion was less pronounced in the group with atrial flutter (27 ± 18 cm/s for atrial flutter vs. 15 ± 14 cm/s for atrial fibrillation, p < 0.001). New or increased spontaneous echo contrast occurred in 22 (50%) of 44 patients with atrial fibrillation versus 4 (21%) of 19 with atrial flutter (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Left atrial appendage stunning also occurs in patients with atrial flutter, although to a lesser degree than in those with atrial fibrillation. These data suggest that patients with atrial flutter are at risk for thromboembolic events after cardioversion, although this risk is most likely lower than that in patients with atrial fibrillation because of better preserved left atrial appendage function.
