Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A comparison of whether catheter ablation improves the prognosis (all-cause mortality and/or the composite endpoint of MACE) and reduces the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with AF and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), compared to anti-atrial arrhythmia drugs (AAD). This trial was randomly divided into two groups: the anti-AAD drug group and the catheter ablation group.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age ≥18 years.
* The patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol and has provided written informed consent.
* Paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).(Persistent AF was defined as AF which is sustained beyond 7 days, or lasting less than seven days but necessitating pharmacologic or electric cardioversion. Included within the category of persistent AF is 'long-standing persistent AF', defined as continuous AF of \>1-year duration. AF episodes had to be documented in the last 3 months prior to enrollment by ECG, Holter ECG, Loop Recorder, memory of the implanted device (ICD/CRT-D), or any other suitable device.)
* Failure or intolerance of antiarrhythmic drug therapy or unwillingness to take antiarrhythmic drugs.
* Diagnosed with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).((1) a history of hospitalization for HF with symptoms classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III, or IV; (2) LVEF ≥ 50%; (3) at least one of the following cardiac structural abnormalities identified by echocardiography: left ventricular hypertrophy, left atrial enlargement, or diastolic dysfunction; and (4) elevated levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), with a threshold of ≥400 pg/mL for pa-tients with SR at admission and ≥600 pg/mL for patients with AF at admis-sion.)
* New York Heart Association class II, III, or IV.

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous left heart ablation procedure for AF.
* Contraindication to chronic anticoagulation therapy or heparin.
* Documented left atrial diameter \>6 cm, optimally from the parasternal long-axis view.
* Acute coronary syndrome, cardiac surgery, angioplasty, or cerebrovascular accident within 2 months prior to enrollment.
* Planned cardiovascular intervention.
* Listed for heart transplant.
* Cardiac assist device implanted.
* Life expectancy ≤ 12 months.
* Mental or physical inability to participate in the study.
* Requirement for dialysis due to terminal renal failure.
* Woman currently pregnant or breastfeeding or not using reliable contraceptive measures during fertility age.
* Enrollment in another investigational drug or device study, or participation in another telemonitoring concept.
