### EBM Verdict
EBM Verdict on: Effect of catheter ablation vs antiarrhythmic drug therapy on mortality, stroke, bleeding, and cardiac arrest among patients with atrial fibrillation: the CABANA Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA 2019 Mar 15. doi: 10.1001/jama.2019.0693.
Catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation is effective at restoring sinus rhythm. Until recently, the prognostic effects of ablation have been unknown.
