Background: Concealed sick sinus syndrome may become manifest after restoration of sinus rhythm by ablation in patients with long‐standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the preprocedural ventricular rate during AF and sinus node function in patients with long‐standing persistent AF.
Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 102) who underwent ablation for long‐standing persistent AF were enrolled. We measured the ventricular rate during AF before ablation in the absence of antiarrhythmic drugs. Sinus node function was assessed by electrophysiological study and serial Holter recordings after ablation....
