Referral to catheter ablation should not be delayed until the patient loses weight, say researchers for the PRAGUE-25 trial.

These drugs tend to be relatively ineffective, relatively toxic, or both. (Note that in some patients, getting rid of the atrial fibrillation with an ablation procedure is feasible.) ...
