Catheter radiofrequency ablation is an important treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) at present. However, the recurrence rate of AF after catheter radiofrequency ablation is relatively high. Factors affecting postoperative recurrence include age, gender, type and duration of AF, ablation strategy, characteristics of the left atrium, electrocardiographic parameters, biomarkers, and coexisting diseases. Assessing the risk of postoperative recurrence in AF patients by these factors and developing a reasonable treatment strategy based on the assessment can help improve the therapeutic benefits of AF patients.
