Core Tip

Core Tip: We explored the role of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in predicting recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). We show that the SII is a predictive factor for postoperative recurrence of AF after RFCA and enhances the ability of the APPLE score to predict postoperative recurrence of AF.
