Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) often co-exist. Catheter ablation is increasingly used to cure AF related to CHF.Clinical evidence supports the feasibil- ity of catheter ablation as a treatment option in drug refractory AF patients with CHF.Investiga- tors have reported an improvement in ejection fraction, quality of life, and functional capacity.
心房颤动(AF)和充血性心力衰竭(CHF)常常并存。导管消融越来越多地用于治疗与CHF相关的AF。临床证据支持导管消融作为治疗药物难治性AF合并CHF患者的一种可行选择。研究人员报告称射血分数、生活质量和功能能力有所改善。
