Overview

Should not yet change AF management in CRT recipients; hypothesis-generating for spontaneous SR resumption as a prognostic marker.

Structured PICO

P
Population
330 consecutive heart failure patients with permanent atrial fibrillation treated with a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, mean age 70 +/- 9 years, 83% male, 44% ischaemic aetiology, 93% NYHA class III-IV, mean QRS duration 167 +/- 40 ms, and mean ejection fraction 26 +/- 7%.
I
Intervention
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
O
Outcome
Spontaneous sinus rhythm resumption (SRR)surrogate

Approximately 10% of heart failure patients with permanent atrial fibrillation experience spontaneous sinus rhythm resumption after CRT, which is associated with improved long-term survival.
