Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Heart Failure With Reduced vs Preserved Ejection Fraction

JAMA Cardiology

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the efficacy of catheter ablation compared with rate or rhythm control among patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.

Impact of HFpEF on Ablation Outcomes; PVI Only Ablation in HFrEF?

American College of Cardiology

Patients who undergo catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib) who also have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) experienced a greater benefit from ablation in terms of clinical outcome, AFib recurrence and functional status, according to findings from the CABANA trial.

Catheter Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

HeartRhythm

Clinical outcomes among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) treated with catheter ablation (CA) versus antiarrhythmic therapy (AAT) are not well-known.

MP-483497-005 IMPACT OF CATHETER ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION

HeartRhythm

The efficacy of catheter ablation as a treatment approach for patients with concurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been inadequately investigated.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Heart Failure: Difference in 3-Year Outcomes between Reduced and Preserved Ejection Fraction

HeartRhythm

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].

Association between Postprocedural Echocardiographic and Laboratory Data and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction after Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

HeartRhythm

The HFA–PEFF score comprising echocardiographic and laboratory data is designed to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and holds prognostic value in patients who underwent catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF).

MP-483497-004 IMPACT OF TIME FROM FIRST EPISODE OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION TO ABLATION AMONG HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION PATIENTS: IS EARLIER BETTER?

HeartRhythm

Studies have suggested that early atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is associated with improved outcomes. However, it is unknown whether these patterns hold for persistent AF among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
