Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with frequent appropriate and inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapies. Catheter ablation of AF has been shown to reduce AF burden and improve left ventricular function in heart failure patients but the impact on ICD therapies has not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that AF ablation reduces ICD therapies in patients with cardiomyopathies.
