Catheter ablation versus medical rate control for persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of restoring the sinus rhythm by catheter ablation relative to that of medical rate control for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with heart failure (HF) remains to be defined. METHODS We systematically searched Embase, Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for articles that compared the outcomes of interest between catheter ablation and ...
متن کاملCatheter ablation versus rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure
Many trials have shown improvements in left ventricular function, exercise capacity, and quality of life after catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure (HF). We sought to evaluate the impact of CA on hard outcomes in a retrospective cohort study. AF patients with symptomatic HF from 3 hospitals were included. Our primary endpoint was major adverse cardia...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Ablation in Systolic Dysfunction: Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcomes
BACKGROUND Heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist in a deleterious cycle. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of patients with ventricular systolic dysfunction and AF treated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation. METHODS Patients with ventricular systolic dysfunction [ejection fraction (EF) <50%] and AF refractory to drug therapy underwent stepwi...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Diastolic Dysfunction following Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA)-induced thermal injury may cause and/or worsen left atrial (LA) diastolic dysfunction leading to pulmonary hypertension and heart failure in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the incidence of which is probably more common than is generally realized. Biplane 2-dimensional echocardiography coupled with tissue Doppler (velocity) imaging and Doppler-der...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation has become a feasible therapeutic option for the management of this complex and challenging arrhythmia. In this article, we have discussed the mechanism of atrial fibrillation, different imaging modalities used for atrial fibrillation ablati...
