Ablation vs Rate Control in Heart Failure with Atrial Fibrillation

Ablation vs Rate Control in Heart Failure with Atrial Fibrillation

This podcast discusses the RAFT-AF trial, which compared ablation-based rhythm control versus rate control in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation. While the study showed no significant differences in primary outcomes, secondary measures indicated improvements in left ventricular function and quality of life.

    Finalmente, otro estudio podría darnos la respuesta, siempre y cuando reforzara los hallazgos del CASTLE HF, sin embargo pasó todo lo contrario. Si miran la curva de mortalidad se darán cuenta que son similares hasta los dos años y luego logran separarse. https://t.co/9V6EYg51yn

    RAFT-AF just published. Trial stopped early by DSMB for apparent futility. However, there was a trend towards reduction in mortality (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.49-1.03), and statistically significant improvement in LVEF, QoL and 6MWT in the ablation arm https://t.co/JO4ghZqwji

Abstract Synopsis

  • The RAFTAF trial compared ablation-based rhythm control with rate control in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
  • The trial included 411 patients and aimed to improve clinical outcomes, with the primary outcome involving all-cause mortality and heart failure events.
  • The study was halted early due to a lack of benefit, showing no significant difference in primary outcomes, although secondary measures indicated improvements in left ventricular function and quality of life for the ablation group.
