In patients with persistent AF and HF, ER-CA produces similar long-term outcomes to a DS-CA strategy. The association between CA as a treatment received and improved outcomes means there is still a lack of clarity regarding the role of early CA in selected patients. Randomized trials are needed to clarify this question.
