Summary

This study looked at whether a combination drug (sacubitril/valsartan) can stop atrial fibrillation from returning after a heart procedure called catheter ablation. The study included 320 older adults (ages 55-80) with high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation. Participants took either the combination drug or a standard blood pressure medication (valsartan) for 12 months to see which better prevents heart rhythm problems.
