IntroductionWhile in the CASTLE-AF trial, in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, interventional therapy using pulmonary vein isolation was associated with outcome improvement, data on cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (CTIA) in atrial flutter (AFL) in the elderly is rare.MethodsWe included 96 patients between 60 and 85 years with typical AFL and heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF/HFmrEF) treated in two medical centers. 48 patients underwent an electrophysiological study with CTIA, whereas 48 patients received rate or rhythm control and guideline-compliant heart failure therapy. Patients were followed up for 2 years, with emphasis on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over time. Primary endpoints were cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization for cardiac causes.ResultsPatients with CTIA showed a significant increase in LVEF after 1 (p |
