To study the efficacy of class IC arrhythmic drugs (AAD) and catheter ablation (CA) for paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with without structural heart disease.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included 122 patients (44 men, 78 women, mean age 63 [55;68] years) with symptomatic AF paroxysms. Patients was divided into the lappaconitine hydrobromide group (LH group; n=26), the propafenone group (P group; n=25) – 25 patients, the diethylaminopropionylethoxycarbonylaminophenothiazine hydrochloride (DH group; n=23), the CA groups: radiofrequency ablation (RFA group; n=24) and cryoballoon ablation (CRYO group; n=24) groups each included 24 patients. The primary endpoint was the AF recurrence within 6 and 12 months from the onset of antiarrhythmic drug therapyand in RFA and CRYO groups – within 6 and 12 months after the end of the blinding period. Additionally, in AAD groups a composite endpoint was assessed: the frequency of recurrence of AF within 6 months and the frequency of side effects requiring drug withdrawal.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Within the 6 months AF recurrence was observed in 13 (50%) patients of the LH group, 11 (44%) patients of the P group, and 13 (56.5%) patients of the DH group (p=0.687). Side effects requiring drug withdrawal were observed in the LH group in 2 patients (7.7%), in the P group in 3 patients (12%) and in the DH group in 3 patients (13%) (p=0.801). The difference in frequency of reaching the composite endpoint was not significant (p = 0.581) and the incidence was 57.7%, 56%, 69.5%, respectively in groups LH, P and DH. The efficacy of CA was higher than class IC AADs: 77% vs 39% (that including the withdrawals of AADs due to side effects) (p˂0.001). At the same time, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of RFA and CRYO: AF recurrences within 6 months after the end of the blinding period were registered in the RFA group in 29% of cases, in the CRYO group – in 16.7% of cases (p=0.247). The overall effectiveness of CA after 12 months was 69%, which was significantly higher than the effectiveness of AADs that was 38% (p˂0.001).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Starting the AAD therapy with IC class in patients with paroxysmal AF in the absence of structural pathology, despite acceptable safety, one should take into account that, regardless of the initially prescribed drug, less than half of patients can achieve prevention of AF recurrence within 1 year. CA for AF can be considered as a first line therapy or can be recommended if one of IC class AADs is ineffective. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Изучить эффективность и безопасность антиаритмических препаратов (ААП) IC класса и катетерных методов изоляции устьев легочных вен (КИ ЛВ) у пациентов с пароксизмальной формой фибрилляции предсердий (ФП) без структурной патологии сердца.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследование было включено 122 пациента (44 мужчины, 78 женщин, средний возраст 63 [55;68] лет) c симптомными пароксизмами ФП. Пациенты разделены на группу приема лаппаконитина гидробромида (группа ЛГ; n=26), группу пропафенона (группа П; n=25), группу диэтиламинопропионилэтоксикарбониламинофенотиазина гидрохлорида (группа ДГ; n=23), группу радиочастотной катетерной изоляции (РЧА; n=24) и группу криобаллонной изоляции (КБИ; n=24). Первичной промежуточной и конечной точкой в исследовании являлся рецидив ФП в течение 6 и 12 мес от начала терапии ААП, а в группах катетерной изоляции устьев легочных вен (КИ ЛВ) – в течение 6 и 12 мес после окончания «слепого» периода. В группах приема ААП дополнительно оценивалась комбинированная конечная точка: сумма частоты рецидивирования ФП в течение 6 мес и частоты побочных эффектов, требующих отмены препарата.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. В течение 6 мес наблюдения рецидивы ФП наблюдались у 13 (50%) пациентов группы ЛГ, 11 (44%) пациентов группы П и 13 (56,5%) пациентов группы ДГ. Различие в частоте рецидивов ФП между группами было статистически незначимо (р=0,687). Побочные эффекты, потребовавшие отмены препарата, наблюдались в группе ЛГ у 2 (7,7%) пациентов, в группе П – у 3 (12%) и в группе ДГ – у 3 (13%) пациентов (р=0,801). Частота достижения комбинированной конечной точки (рецидив ФП и развитие побочных эффектов, требующих отмены ААП) между группами была незначимой (р=0,581) и составила 57,7%, 56%, 69,5% соответственно в группах ЛГ, П и ДГ. Эффективность КИ ЛВ была выше, чем ААТ IC класса: 77% против 39% с учетом отмены ААП из-за побочных эффектов (p&lt;0,001). При этом значимых различий в эффективности РЧА и КБИ не выявлено: рецидивы ФП в течение 6 мес после окончания «слепого периода» отмечены в группе РЧА в 29% случаев, в группе КБИ – в 16,7% случаев (р=0,247). Суммарная эффективность КИ ЛВ через 12 мес составила 69% против 38% в группах ААП (p&lt;0,001).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Начиная подбор терапии ААП IС класса у больных с пароксизмальной формой ФП при отсутствии структурной патологии, несмотря на приемлемую безопасность, необходимо учитывать, что вне зависимости от первично назначенного препарата в течение 1 года профилактики рецидивов удается достичь менее, чем у половины пациентов. КИ ЛВ в этой группе пациентов может рассматриваться как метод первого выбора, либо быть рекомендована при неэффективности одного антиаритмического препарата I класса.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>антиаритмическая терапия</kwd><kwd>лаппаконитин гидробромида</kwd><kwd>пропафенон</kwd><kwd>диэтиламинопропионилэтоксикарбониламинофенотиазина гидрохлорид</kwd><kwd>радиочастотная абляция</kwd><kwd>криобаллонная изоляция легочных вен</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>antiarrhythmic drug therapy</kwd><kwd>lappaconitine hydrobromide</kwd><kwd>propafenone</kwd><kwd>diethylaminopropionylethoxycarbonylaminophenothiazine hydrochloride</kwd><kwd>radiofrequency ablation</kwd><kwd>cryoballoon ablation for 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">Kornej J, Börschel CS, Benjamin EJ, Schnabel RB.
