Effects of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation on Arrhythmia Burden and Ventricular Function in End-Stage Heart Failure: Lessons from CASTLE-HTx
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. Favourable ablation outcomes were observed in patients regardless of the presence or absence of signs indicating left atrial cardiomyopathy.
