Radiofrequency catheter ablation that targets the pulmonary veins is well established as a mainstay for drug-refractory, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, in patients with persistent AF, the ideal approach remains elusive. Further, despite the various additional ablation strategies that have been investigated in patients with persistent AF, the rate of recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias after ablation remains relatively high. In this review, the predictors of recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias after catheter ablation of persistent AF will be discussed.
以肺静脉为靶点的射频导管消融术已成为药物难治性阵发性心房颤动(AF)的主要治疗手段。然而,对于持续性AF患者,理想的治疗方法仍不明确。此外,尽管针对持续性AF患者研究了各种额外的消融策略,但消融术后房性快速心律失常的复发率仍然相对较高。在本综述中,将讨论持续性AF导管消融术后房性快速心律失常复发的预测因素。
