May support CRT in HF-AF; leaves open need for dedicated RCTs before practice change.
Does cardiac resynchronisation therapy reduce atrial fibrillation burden in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation?
This review highlights that CRT is effective in patients with HF and AF, reducing AF burden and promoting left atrial reverse remodelling.
Lavalle et al. (2010) conducted a review in Heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronisation therapy in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation appears effective, reducing AF burden and promoting left atrial reverse remodelling.
