Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with heart failure (HF). Catheter ablation of AF has been proven to be an effective therapeutic option for AF management in HF, particularly in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) [2, 3].

ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cause of arrhythmia-induced cardiomyopathy. Effective management strategies include medical therapy for rate and rhythm control, catheter ablation (CA), and goal-directed medical therapy. It is unclear what impact SGLT2i use may have on AF recurrence following CA.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), affecting over 6 million Americans, and the number is expected to double by 2030. If untreated, AFib can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and it significantly increases a person’s risk of stroke. This is a complex disease.

Slow VT below the detection rate of the ICD lead to worsening heart failure and low stroke volume. Post conversion of VT the patient had low output cardiac failure and became unstable and hypoperfused. Cardiac output (CO) was being maintained by the tachycardia. After atrial rhythm/SR was restored the patient slowly improved.
