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).

Left atrial and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) elevation can reflect severity and dynamic status of heart failure (HF) in HF with preserved ejection fraction (pEF). Atrial fibrillation (AF) worsens HFpEF progression and pump failure, but catheter ablation can restore rhythm control in this population.

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, it remains unclear whether SRM after a repeat CA for recurrent AF has the same effect as SRM after the initial CA in patients with AF and HFpEF.

Catheter ablation has become the most effective rhythm control strategy in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), preventing AF recurrence and delaying its progression to persistent AF better than antiarrhythmic drugs.

A number of studies have examined the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation on outcomes in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection (HFrEF) patients. In contrast, data from HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients is limited to small outcome studies and less robust meta-analyses.

Studies have shown an overriding benefit of AF ablation in patients with long-standing HFrEF and symptomatic AF. Therefore, this study assesses whether the sequence of HFpEF and AF diagnoses influence mortality and HF progression risk and the subsequent impact of AF ablation.

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the long-term outcomes and subclinical HF after nonparoxysmal AF ablation in HFpEF patients have not been fully evaluated.

Abstract Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in heart failure (HF) and negatively impacts outcomes. The role of ablation-based rhythm control in patients with AF and HF with preserved (HFpEF) or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) is not known.
