Summary
Heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist, and each increases the morbidity
and mortality associated with the other. The investigators hypothesized that restoration of
normal sinus rhythm by catheter ablation is superior to medical treatment of AF in heart
failure. This study randomizes patients with heart failure and persistent AF to medical
treatment of AF or catheter ablation to restore sinus rhythm.
