Recent research also points to a relationship between Afib and heart failure, in which Afib may be both a causal factor and a consequence of HF.52,53 Studies show that the prevalence of Afib increases with the severity of heart failure,54 and the development of Afib in HF patients is one of the leading causes of clinical deterioration.55
Return to sinus rhythm by ablation:
- Improved ejection fraction 8% – 18%.56,57
- Improved ejection fraction by up to 18% versus 4% for medical management.56,57
- Provides benefits of reduced left atrial dimensions and improved NYHA class.56,57
