Effects of atrial fibrillation ablation on arrhythmia burden and ventricular function in end‐stage heart failure: Lessons from CASTLE‐HTx

European Journal of Heart Failure

Overview of the study population and effects observed after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Conclusion Atrial fibrillation ablation in end-stage HF leads to a substantial decrease in AF burden, a regression from persistent to paroxysmal AF and notably improved LVEF. PVI, pulmonary vein isolation.

Dofetilide for the treatment of premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Background Dofetilide is a class III antiarrhythmic agent approved for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The composite outcome of VT/VF recurrence, heart transplantation, or death occurred in 6/12 patients (50%) without dofetilide and 49/69 patients (71%) with dofetilide.
