A Neutral Trial That Should Change Guidelines: CAAN-AF

20 Visioni
Published
Join John Mandrola, MD, and Prash Sanders, MBBS, PhD, as they dissect the surprising findings of the CAN AF trial, a crucial study examining the role of AV node ablation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and a CRT device. For years, guidelines suggested AV node ablation was necessary for effective CRT pacing, but this randomized trial challenges that conventional wisdom. Learn why the study found no difference in outcomes, and what this means for current medical practice and future guideline recommendations for patients needing high-percentage bi-ventricular (BiV) pacing
