How long after radiofrequency ablation does it usually take for recurrence to occur?

After radiofrequency ablation, the recurrence rate is usually low, but there is a possibility of recurrence, the specific time of recurrence can not be specified, it may be a few days, months, or even decades after the operation, and it is related to the patient’s individual differences, disease types, and so on.
1. There is a certain recurrence rate after radiofrequency ablation, which may be a few days, months, or even decades after the operation, and the specific time is different depending on the individual differences of the patients and the types of diseases, so it is not possible to make a generalization. Radiofrequency ablation for supraventricular tachycardia is currently the most mature radiofrequency ablation procedure, and the recurrence rate is very low, about 1% to 2%.
2. The recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is about 10-20%; the recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation is about 20-30%; the recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation for some ventricular premature beats and ventricular tachycardia is about 20%. If the patient has a longer onset of disease, physical weakness, or a combination of coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other diseases, the recurrence rate after radiofrequency ablation may be greater.
It is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for regular follow-up after radiofrequency ablation, follow the doctor’s instructions to adhere to the medication, pay attention to the emotional calm, avoid exertion, etc.
