We aimed to elucidate the effect of alcohol consumption on the outcome of\n CA<\/jats:styled-content>\n for paroxysmal\n AF<\/jats:styled-content>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods and Results<\/jats:title>\n \n We examined 1361 consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF (mean age, 61\u00b111\u00a0years, 334 women) who underwent\n CA<\/jats:styled-content>\n , including 623 (45.8%) patients who consumed alcohol. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of\n CA<\/jats:styled-content>\n were compared between patients who did and did not consume alcohol. No significant differences were seen in the left atrial size, duration of\n AF<\/jats:styled-content>\n history, and incidence of nonpulmonary vein foci between 2 groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =\n NS<\/jats:styled-content>\n ). Although the\n AF<\/jats:styled-content>\n recurrence\u2010free rate after the initial\n CA<\/jats:styled-content>\n was higher in patients who did not consume alcohol (261\/623 [41.9%] versus 252\/738 [34.1%]; mean follow\u2010up, 44.4\u00b130.7\u00a0months;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.003), the outcome after the final\n CA<\/jats:styled-content>\n was similar between 2 groups (patients who consumed alcohol: 111\/628 [17.7%] versus patients who did not consume alcohol: 138\/738 [18.7%]; mean follow\u2010up, 53.1\u00b125.8\u00a0months;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.67).
