Left ventricular ejection fraction was lower at the time of AV node ablation than catheter ablation of AT\/AF\/AFL (23%\u00a0vs 40%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.003). Cardiac amyloid was diagnosed based on the results of preablation cardiac MRI results in the majority of patients (n\u00a0=\u00a07, 70%). The HV interval was prolonged at 60\u00a0\u00b1\u00a015\u00a0ms and did not differ significantly between AV nodal ablation patients and AT\/AF\/AFL ablation patients (69\u00a0\u00b1\u00a018\u00a0ms vs 57\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014\u00a0ms, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.36). The majority of patients undergoing AT\/AF\/AFL ablation had persistent AF (n\u00a0=\u00a07, 70%) and NYHA class II (n\u00a0=\u00a05, 50%) or III (n\u00a0=\u00a05, 50%) HF symptoms, whereas patients undergoing AV node ablation were more likely to have class IV HF (n\u00a0=\u00a02, 66%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.014).
