(A,B) Interstitial glucose levels during and after the procedure in the AF group and the control group. (C) The Δ glucose level (maximum minus minimal) during the procedure in the AF and control groups. Time zero was defined as the time of femoral puncture. The mean time from femoral puncture to the start of ablation was 75.5 ± 18.8 min in the AF group and 66.8 ± 28.6 min in the control group. The mean time from femoral puncture to sheath removal was 224.9 ± 39.7 min in the AF group and 154.5 ± 66.0 min in the control group. (D) The Δ glucose level in patients with and without GP responses. AF atrial fibrillation, GP ganglionated plexus.
