Comparison Results of Catheter Based Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Versus drug Therapy

Atrial fibrillation is a worldwide problem with significant morbidity, mortality and also cost for people and countries. AF ablation and antiarrhythmic drugs are both acceptable treatments for this important arrhythmia. Many randomized controlled trials to compare ablation with AADs done, few on the way and still waiting more. All trials including the latest one CABANA , indicate improved QoL,significant AF burden and symptoms reduction with ablation. Meanwhile, although preliminary studies showed good things, cardiac electrophysiology need more RCTs to show probable mortality and stroke reduction with ablation compared to AADs.
