AIMS: The roles of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) and pharmacotherapy in treating persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been sufficiently investigated. We conducted a multicentre, randomized, controlled trial to compare the effects of RFCA and pharmacotherapy on the prognosis of these patients.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 648 patients with persistent and long-standing persistent AF were enrolled from 30 centres and randomized to either the ablation group (n = 327) or the pharmacotherapy group (n = 321). After 54.2 ± 10.6 months of follow-up, the primary endpoints occurred significantly more rarely in the ablation group than in the pharmacotherapy group (10.4% vs. 17.4%; hazard ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.48-0.75; P < 0.001). The incidence of stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) was significantly lower in the ablation group (4.2% vs. 7.2%, P < 0.001). Likewise, the incidence of new-onset congestive heart failure (CHF) was lower in the ablation group (2.8% vs. 7.2%, P < 0.001). More patients had sinus rhythm in the ablation group than in the pharmacotherapy group (60.6% vs. 20.9%, P < 0.001), but fewer patients were on antiarrhythmic drugs (24.4% vs. 41.6%, P < 0.001) and warfarin (60.8% vs. 83.9%, P = 0.001). Both the 6-min walk distance and the quality of life (QoL) were improved in the ablation group at the end of follow-up.
CONCLUSION: In patients with persistent and long-standing persistent AF, RFCA-based treatment was superior to pharmacotherapy in decreasing stroke/TIA and new-onset CHF and improving QoL.
