Pdf Summary
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology suggests that early catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure (HF) leads to improved long-term outcomes, including cardiovascular and HF death. The study used data from the Japanese Registry of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (JROADHF) and identified patients with HF and AF who underwent CA within 90 days of admission for worsening HF (early CA group) and those who did not undergo early CA (control group). The study found that all-cause mortality was significantly lower in the early CA group compared to the control group in both the crude cohort and the propensity-matched cohort. Additionally, cardiovascular and HF mortality rates were significantly lower in both cohorts. The findings suggest that early CA for AF, performed within 90 days of admission for HF, can lead to improved prognosis and reduced mortality in patients with HF and AF. The study highlights the potential benefits of early intervention with CA in patients with HF and AF and calls for further research to validate these findings.
