Effect of fixed-rate vs. rate-RESPONSIve pacing on exercise capacity in patients with permanent, refractory atrial fibrillation and left ventricular dysfunction treated with atrioventricular junction aBLation and bivEntricular pacing (RESPONSIBLE): a prospective, multicentre, randomized, single-blind study

Conclusion</div>In permanent AF patients with uncontrolled rate and reduced LVEF who had undergone AVJ ablation and biventricular pacing, RR pacing yields a significant gain in exercise capacity, which seems to be related to the RR-induced frequency during effort.</span>
