Catheter ablation significantly reduces the composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization compared to medical therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure was associated with a significantly lower rate of a composite end point of death from any cause or hospitalization for worsening heart failure than was medical therapy.
