I had a case of Affib about 8 years ago now. It was just an ordinary one. I think I got from take Aleve for too long. I had cyrogenic ablation that solved the problem. Almost instantly. I was in the hospital one day and out the next day. A week later I was back to working out at my local gym. I thought the operation was a miracle because I was so out of it before the operation.

That said I don’t understand this sentence. Can you explain it?

—catheter ablation has been shown to reverse heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with both HFpEF and atrial fibrillation (AF).—

This study is only talking to a form of heart failure you never had. You had the irregular heartbeat issue called “Afib,” or “AF,” as it's also called, in this article.

People who get this form of heart failure may, or may not have Afib, but this treatment approach worked for solving both problems, if someone had both problems.
