Atrial fibrillation is associated with left ventricular dysfunction and impaired myocardial energetics that persist despite catheter ablation: Is atrial fibrillation the chicken or the egg?

Atrial fibrillation is associated with left ventricular dysfunction and impaired myocardial energetics that persist despite catheter ablation: Is atrial fibrillation the chicken or the egg?

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of heart failure and premature death, and is often resistant to treatment. Animal models of pacing-induced AF indicate that AF-induced endothelial dysfunction, impaired coronary reserve, and myocardial remodelling are important in arrhythmia...
