Patients with refractory AF, HF with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) &amp;lt; 50%, narrow QRS duration (\u2264120\u2005ms), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide &amp;gt; 600\u2005ng\/L were randomized 1:1 to CSP or BVP. The primary endpoint was the change in LVEF after 6 months, assessed by an independent core laboratory. Secondary endpoints included echocardiographic, clinical, and procedural outcomes.
