Investigator
Grant Activity:
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure and myocardial fibrosis
Purpose:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) co-exist in up to 30 percent of patients and over half have ventricular scar on MRI. Catheter ablation (CA) can improve outcomes in patients compared to medical therapy, yet the impact of this scar is unclear. This study compares CA to both medical therapy in patients with AF, HF and heart scarring, and to patients with no scarring undergoing CA, with the primary endpoint of improvement in heart function, death or hospitalisation.
