Abstract：Atrial fibrillation(AF)has increasingly attracted global attention,and the incidence of AF increases year by year with age.Due to the continuous development of clinical treatment strategies for AF,radiofrequency ablation has gradually replaced conventional drug therapy and has become a first-line clinical treatment for AF,which can greatly reduce the load of AF and control the rhythm of AF and improve cardiac function.However,the recurrence of postoperative AF is still an important clinical problem.A large number of studies have shown that AF persists,leading to the left atrial electrophysiological and anatomical remodeling occurs,which is an important pathological factor in the development and maintenance of AF and postoperative recurrence.However,recent studies have found that the right atrium is involved in maintaining AF and it is independently associated with the poor clinical outcomes of AF patients with the increase of AF duration;there is also a certain correlation between the right atrium and predictive effect of postoperative recurrence of AF.This article aims to review the correlation between the right atrium and recurrence of AF after ablation.
