Summary:Atrial fibrillation （AF） is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia which affects 33 million individuals worldwide？ It is associated with many adverse outcomes, including stroke, dementia, heart failure （HF）, and mortality. Based on a growing body of evidence illustrating its efficacy and safety, catheter ablation （CA） has become an important treatment strategy for symptomatic AF. Most centers have progressively moved from performing paroxysmal AF to more complex long-standing persistent AF or patients with more comorbidities.
