The efficacy of catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and prolonged sinus pauses [bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome (BTS)] has been already described. However, the effects of PVI on autonomic modulation in BTS patients remain to be determined. We, therefore, examined the alteration in the autonomic modulation through the PVI procedure by using a heart rate variability (HRV) analysis of 24 h ambulatory monitoring.
