TL;DR: For patients with standard indications for ICD therapy, no indication for cardiac pacing, and an LVEF of 40% or less, dual-chamber pacing offers no clinical advantage over ventricular backup pacing and may be detrimental by increasing the combined end point of death or hospitalization for heart failure.

TL;DR: PVI with radiofrequency ablation appears to be a feasible first-line approach for treating patients with symptomatic AF, and improvement in quality of life of patients in the PVI group was significantly better than the improvement in the antiarrhythmic drug group in 5 subclasses of the Short-Form 36 health survey.

TL;DR: A multicenter prospective randomized study conducted from December 31, 2001, to July 1, 2002, of 70 patients aged 18 to 75 years who experienced monthly symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes for at least 3 months and had not been treated with antiarrhythmic drugs was conducted in this article.

TL;DR: Pulmonary-vein isolation was superior to atrioventricular-node ablation with biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure who had drug-refractory atrial fibrillation.

Pre-existent left atrial scarring in patients undergoing pulmonary vein antrum isolation: An independent predictor of procedural failure

TL;DR: Pre-existent LAS in patients undergoing PVAI for AF is a powerful, independent predictor of procedural failure and is associated with a lower EF, larger LA size, and increased inflammatory markers.
