Abstract
Persistent atrial fibrillation and frequent premature ventricular complexes may contribute to worsening heart failure, particularly when malignancy limits guideline-directed medical therapy. In patients with progressive ventricular dysfunction and limited pharmacologic options, atrioventricular nodal ablation with cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator implantation may provide durable rate control and support subsequent ventricular functional recovery.
