Abstract:

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias in clinical practice, with a high rate of death and disability. In recent years, with the help of catheter ablation and other techniques, some patients can maintain sinus rhythm, achieving the goal of eradicating AF. However, the recurrence rate of atrial arrhythmias after the first radiofrequency ablation is still around 20% to 30% at present, and the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation for AF has not yet reached the expected level. Exploring the risk factors for recurrence after ablation, intervening and continuously and improving the catheter ablation procedure are extremely important for reducing the risk of recurrence. This article reviews the latest research progress on the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias after catheter ablation for AF.

Key words: atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation, arrhythmia recurrence, pulmonary vain isolation
