Heart Failure Progression in the Setting of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation, Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes, and Malignancy‐Related Limitations to Guideline‐Directed Medical Therapy: A Case Report
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Persistent atrial fibrillation and frequent premature ventricular complexes may contribute to worsening heart failure, particularly when malignancy limits guideline-directed medical therapy. In patients with progressive ventricular dysfunction and limited pharmacologic options, atrioventricular nodal ablation with cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator implantation may provide durable rate control and support subsequent ventricular functional recovery.
