The aim was therefore to describe HRQOL in patients with atrioventricular nodal re\u2010entry tachycardia (AVNRT) or Wolff\u2010Parkinson\u2010White (WPW) syndrome, referred for radiofrequency ablation (RF\u2010ablation), compared to age\u2010 and gender\u2010matched Swedish reference groups.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> HRQOL was assessed with SF\u201036 and EuroQol (EQ\u20105D and EQ\u2010VAS) and the patients were asked disease\u2010specific questions.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The 97 patients with AVNRT [53 \u00b1 16 years of age\/65 women] and 79 patients with WPW [42 \u00b1 15 years of age\/26 women] exhibited significantly lower HRQOL scores in SF\u201036 in the same seven of the eight scales: Physical functioning (PF), role\u2010physical (RP), social functioning (SF), role\u2010emotional (RE), general health (GH), vitality (VT), and mental health (MH) while there was no difference in bodily pain (BP) compared to their respective age\u2010 and gender matched Swedish reference group. HRQOL scores were lower for patients with AVNRT compared to WPW in the areas of PF (P &lt; 0.001), BP (P &lt; 0.05), and GH (P &lt; 0.01) in SF\u201036, and the same was found in EQ\u2010VAS (64.8 vs. 71.2, P &lt; 0.05). Occurrence of episodes of tachycardia more often than once a month compared to less frequently than once a month was associated with significantly lower HRQOL in all eight scales in SF\u201036 (GH, RE, MH: P &lt; 0.01 and PF, RP, BP, VT, SF: P &lt; 0.001) and EQ\u20105D index (P &lt; 0.001) and EQ\u2010VAS (P &lt; 0.05) Arrhythmia duration longer than one hour compared to patients with shorter duration of the tachycardia\u2010affected GH in SF\u201036 negatively (P &lt; 0.05). Patients who experienced symptoms not only during activity but also at rest scored lower in SF\u201036 GH (P &lt; 0.01) and SF (P &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>\n            <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Measuring HRQOL in patients with WPW or AVNRT is an important way to evaluate and describe these patients\u2019 life situation. These conditions were found to have a pronounced negative impact on HRQOL. The frequency of arrhythmia occurrence is one important factor to consider when setting priorities for treatment with RF\u2010ablation.<\/jats:italic> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2009.02476.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,21]],"date-time":"2009-08-21T12:33:32Z","timestamp":1250858012000},"page":"1299-1306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Wolff\u2010Parkinson\u2010White Syndrome and Atrioventricular Nodal Re\u2010Entry Tachycardia in a Swedish Population: Consequences on Health\u2010Related Quality of Life"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"ULLA","family":"WALFRIDSSON","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNA","family":"STR\u00d6MBERG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MAGNUS","family":"JANZON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00c5KAN","family":"WALFRIDSSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.94.7.1585"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(01)01607-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2005.09753.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(96)00701-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_2","volume-title":"Socialstyrelsen","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(98)00416-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_2","volume-title":"The constitution of the World Health Organization","author":"WHO","year":"1947"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(95)00112-K"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_2","volume-title":"H\u00e4lsoenk\u00e4t.
