结论：我们旨在确定肺静脉电隔离术（PVI）在左心室（LV）收缩功能受损的房颤（AF）患者中的安全性和有效性。背景迄今为止，PVI主要用于LV功能正常的患者。然而，许多AF患者具有受损的LV收缩功能。PVI的结果与左室收缩功能受损的患者是未知的。方法我们包括377例连续接受PVI 2000年12月至2003年1月。94例患者左室功能受损（射血分数[EF]），
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic function.BACKGROUND To date, PVI has been performed primarily in patients with normal LV function. Yet, many AF patients have impaired LV systolic function. The outcomes of PVI in patients with impaired LV systolic function are unknown.METHODS We included 3 77 consecutive patients undergoing PVI between December 2000 and January 2003. Ninety-four patients had impaired LV function (ejection fraction [EF]
