Does radiofrequency ablation improve clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in a patient with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy?
Radiofrequency ablation successfully restored sinus rhythm and improved clinical and echocardiographic parameters in a patient with atrial fibrillation and suspected tachycardiomyopathy.
Maid et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy (n=1). Radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Recovery of sinus rhythm and improvement of echocardiographic parameters. Radiofrequency ablation in a 57-year-old patient with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy restored sinus rhythm and improved echocardiographic parameters over 2 years of follow-up.
