  Author(s): Qingsong Xiong
  
  Background: The effect of catheter ablation (CA) versus drug therapy on cardiac function improvement is not clear for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. To compare the short-term therapeutic effects between CA and conventional drug therapy, we conducted a meta-analysis of the current randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
