Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is one of the most common clinical arrhythmias. Although radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation has continuously matured and developed in recent years, some patients treated with RFCA continued to have atrial fibrillation recurrence, and the recurrence rate was high. Determining indicators to predict the recurrence of PAF after RFCA is significantly important for improving the surgical success rate and guiding clinical work. This study aimed to investigate the influence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) on the late recurrence of PAF after RFCA.
