Article Synopsis
- * A study with 19 hemodialysis patients undergoing catheter ablation (CA) for AF showed significant improvements in physical functioning, general health perceptions, and symptom relief six months post-procedure.
- * Overall, the results indicate that CA for AF enhances the QoL in hemodialysis patients, with no life-threatening complications reported during or after the procedure.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is associated with renal function deterioration. The protective effects of catheter ablation (CA) of AF on renal function in patients with HCM remain unsolved. From 2009 to 2020, a total of 169 consecutive patients with HCM and AF (age 70 ± 12, 87 males) were retrospectively evaluated.
