Keywords:

  • atrial arrhythmia treatment - in heart failure patients;
  • heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) - twin “epidemics of cardiovascular disease”;
  • atrial fibrillation, a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia - uncoordinated atrial activation with associated atrial mechanical function deterioration;
  • heart failure, major and growing public health problem - in the United States;
  • AF, associated with electrical and structural remodeling of atrium;
  • Atrial Fibrillation and Congestive Heart Failure (AF-CHF) trial;
  • catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation;
  • Kaplan-Meier estimates - of secondary outcomes in AF-CHF trial;
  • cardiac resynchronization therapy;
  • atrial fibrillation and heart failure - inter-related clinical entities with unfortunate and detrimental synergies
