Abstract
A prospective invasive hemodynamic evaluation in 11 unselected patient s with medically refractory chronic atrial fibrillation undergoing rad iofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction was per formed. The resultant rate regulation and control caused a hemodynamic and symptomatic improvement despite persistent fibrillation at the at rial level.
