Effectiveness of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: long-term outcomes and predictors of recurrence

RFCA may be an effective rhythm control strategy for patients with HCM accompanied by AF, with significant improvement in symptoms and mEHRA and NYHA class. The CAAP-AF score is a predictor of AF recurrence. Rhythm control diminishes the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), exacerbation of HF, and HCM mortality, especially in high-risk patients, who may otherwise require strict monitoring.

Abstract

RFCA may be an effective rhythm control strategy for patients with HCM accompanied by AF, with significant improvement in symptoms and mEHRA and NYHA class. The CAAP-AF score is a predictor of AF recurrence. Rhythm control diminishes the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), exacerbation of HF, and HCM mortality, especially in high-risk patients, who may otherwise require strict monitoring.
