In the management of atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure, rate control is recommended, whereas the implication of rhythm control remains controversial. We experienced a 65-year-old man who had compensated heart failure due to hypertensive heart disease and atrial fibrillation with well-controlled heart rate (<100 bpm). At three months following the catheter ablation procedure, the left ventricular ejection fraction improved from 40% up to 65%. The implication of rhythm control using catheter ablation in improving cardiac reverse remodeling should be validated in large-scale clinical studies.
