2 Prevalence of AF in Several Major HF Trials Maisel Am J Cardiol 2003;91(suppl):2D 8D The Problem and the Possible Solution of Rhythm Control in Patients with HF and AF Antiarrhythmic options are scarce in patients with heart failure and carry risks of toxicity Improved outcomes associated with catheter ablation raises the possibility of more efficacious therapies in the future 2

3 The Decision to Pursue Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Depends on Several Factors Type or pattern of atrial fibrillation Left atrial size Severity of symptoms Associated cardiovascular disease (presence or absence of systolic or diatolic dysfunction) The patient s previous history of treatment Estimated risk of complications Patient preference Calkins H, Kuck KH, Cappato R, et al HRS/EHRA/ECAS expert consensus Heart Rhythm 2012; 9: Rate vs. Rhythm Control of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Heart Failure 3

4 Forest Plot Comparing Rate and Rhythm Control for Total Mortality in Patients With AF And HF 4

15 CASTLE-AF Recently presented at ESC PRIMARY ENDPOINT The primary study endpoint was the composite of allcause death or unplanned hospitalization due to worsening of heart failure, whichever came first. CASTLE-AF SECONDARY ENDPOINTS All-cause mortality Worsening of HF requiring unplanned hospitalization Cerebrovascular accidents Cardiovascular mortality Unplanned hospitalization due to cardiovascular reasons All-cause hospitalization Quality of life: MLHF and EuroQoL EQ-5D Exercise tolerance ( six-minute walk test) Number of delivered ICD shocks, and ATPs (appropriate/inappropriate) Time to first ICD shock, and time to first ATP Number of device-detected VT/VF AF burden: cumulative duration of AF episodes AF-free interval: time to first AF recurrence after 3 months blanking period post ablation Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) 15

16 CASTLE-AF: PRIMARY ENDPOINT The composite primary endpoint of allcause mortality or hospitalization due to worsening of HF was significantly reduced in the catheter ablation group versus the control group (HR: 0.62; 95% CI: ; p=0.007). CASTLE-AF: PRIMARY ENDPOINT The composite primary endpoint of allcause mortality or hospitalization due to worsening of HF was significantly reduced in the catheter ablation group versus the control group (HR: 0.62; 95% CI: ; p=0.007). 38% Reduction 16

17 CASTLE-AF MAJOR SECONDARY ENDPOINTS All-cause mortality was significantly reduced in the catheter ablation group versus the control group (HR: 0.53; 95% CI: ; p=0.011). Hospitalizations due to worsening of HF were significantly reduced in the catheter ablation group versus the control group (HR: 0.56; 95% CI: ; p=0.004) Conclusions Rhythm control has no benefit compare Rate control in patients with decrease LVEF Atrial Fibrillation Ablation is superior to medical rate control in patients with decrease LVEF 17
