AF interrupts CRT in many HF patients; leaves open whether prevention strategies improve sustained delivery.
Do atrial fibrillation prevention and treatment strategies improve the delivery of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure?
Preventing and treating atrial fibrillation through pharmacological, device-based, or ablation strategies is crucial to maintaining effective cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients.
Osmar Antonio Centurión (2014) conducted a review in Heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronization therapy is interrupted in over 30% of patients after successful implantation, with the development of atrial fibrillation being the most common reason (18%).
