Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background There is a genetic background in pulmonary vein (PV) development and atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the genetic trait of PV variations and their rhythm outcome after AF catheter ablation (AFCA) is unclear. Objective We explored the genetic and clinical characteristics and long-term rhythm outcomes of AF patients with PV variation or left common trunkus (LCT)-PV. Methods We included 2,897 AF patients (74.0% male, age 59.0 ± 10.7 years, 66.3% paroxysmal AF) with available genome-wide association study results, cardiac computed tomogram data, and protocol-based regular rhythm follow-up from the Yonsei AF ablation cohort database. We defined LCT-PV when the upper and lower PV separate at >10 mm distal to the left PV antrum margin. PV variations included both LCT-PV and accessory PVs. We analyzed the polygenic risk score (PRS) of 12 AF-associated genes (DSP, GJA1, HCN4, KCNQ1, NPPA, PITX2, RYR2, SCN5a, SHOX2, ATP2A2, TBX3, and TBX5) and long-term rhythm outcomes after AFCA. Results We found PV variation in 296 (10.2%) and LCT-PV in 102 (3.5%). PRS of 1,227 single nucleotid polymorphisms (SNPs) was significantly higher in PV variation patients (p=4.93e-08) and LCT-PV patients (p=1.95e-20). The patients with LCT-PV had higher CHA2DS2VASc scores (p=0.024) and lower atrial epicardial adipose tissue volume (p=0.034). During 39.7 ± 34.8 months follow-up period, LCT-PV patients had a significantly higher recurrence rate than their counter part in the paroxysmal AF sub-group (Log-rank p=0.036), but not in overall PV variations. LCT-PV with the highest 10% PRS was independently associated with AF recurrence after AFCA (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.21-3.63, p=0.008). Conclusions Among the patients who underwent AFCA, PV variation, including LCT-PV, has a significant genetic background. The post-AFCA recurrence rate was significantly higher in patients with LCT-PV and high PRS, especially in paroxysmal AF.
