Aims: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with heart failure (HF) can improve left ventricular (LV) function and HF symptoms. We aimed to investigate whether long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm impacts on hard outcomes such as stroke and death.
Methods And Results: An international multicentre registry was compiled from seven centres for consecutive patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF.

This paper presents a new level set method for segmentation of cardiac left and right ventricles. We extend the edge based distance regularized level set evolution (DRLSE) model in Li et al. (2010) to a two-level-set formulation, with the 0-level set and k-level set representing the endocardium and epicardium, respectively.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are evolving epidemics, together responsible for substantial human suffering and health-care expenditure. Ageing, improved cardiovascular survival, and epidemiological transition form the basis for their increasing global prevalence. Although we now have a clear picture of how HF promotes AF, gaps remain in our knowledge of how AF exacerbates or even causes HF, and how the development of HF affects the outcome of patients with AF.

Catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs in maintaining sinus rhythm for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone of any AF ablation procedure. Conventionally, this is achieved by performing point by point lesions using radiofrequency (RF) energy.
