Background: There is a well-documented relationship and a complex interaction between atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure. The coexistence of these 2 clinical entities renders their management even more challenging.
Methods And Results: We searched current literature to review the management of AF in patients with heart failure.
Apoptosis has been found in skeletal muscles of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and has been associated with exercise intolerance. In CHF, cachexia is characterized by neurohormonal activation and muscle wasting. Neurohormonal activation can lead to cell death and fibrosis.

- * A total of 30 patients undergoing either angioplasty or bypass surgery and 25 healthy individuals were assessed, focusing on changes in AV plane displacement at various sites of the heart's left ventricle before and after revascularization.
- * Results indicated that a significant increase in AV plane displacement during DSE correlated with functional improvement in patients, with a predictive accuracy of 91% sensitivity and 83% specificity for recovery in dyssynergic areas of the heart
