Overview

Supports CRT consideration in HF with AF despite underrepresentation; leaves open dedicated RCTs for confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve outcomes in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation?

P
Population
Heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation
I
Intervention
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)

This review highlights that despite being underrepresented in trials, heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation may derive similar benefits from CRT as those in sinus rhythm.

Cite This Study

Ökmen et al. (2013) conducted a review in Heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Cardiac resynchronization therapy vs. Sinus rhythm was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation may offer similar benefits to those in sinus rhythm for functional capacity, reverse remodeling, and survival.
