Brief Summary:
The aim of this randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different approaches for conversion of persistent atrial fibrillation the non-invasive one external electrical cardioversion and the invasive one catheter ablation
Detailed Description:
This randomized study compares two treatment strategies in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation Cardioversion vs catheter ablation Cardioversion is a low risk standard treatment option for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation However mid- and long term efficacy regarding the maintenance of sinus rhythm is low Catheter ablation is an invasive treatment which has been reported to result in up to 60-70 of patients in stable sinus rhythm However it is a potentially dangerous invasive procedure with potentially fatal complications
