The average life expectancy after atrial fibrillation ablation surgery is several years

The length of life after atrial fibrillation ablation surgery depends on the severity of atrial fibrillation and whether it recurs after surgery, and cannot be generalized. Atrial fibrillation ablation surgery clinically refers to cardiac radiofrequency ablation, which is performed by sending an electrode catheter through a vein or arterial vessel into a specific part of the heart cavity, releasing radiofrequency current to cause coagulative necrosis of the local endocardium and subendocardial myocardium, and playing a role in blocking the abnormal conduction bundle of fast heart rhythm. If this procedure is successful and the patient is mildly ill with no other concomitant disease, the patient’s life expectancy is generally the same as normal. If recurrence occurs after atrial fibrillation ablation surgery, it can have an impact on the patient’s life expectancy, and if not treated promptly, complications such as acute left heart failure, malignant arrhythmias, and even the risk of sudden cardiogenic death can occur at any time. It is recommended that patients with atrial fibrillation must actively treat the primary disease, take medications as prescribed by the doctor, and improve poor lifestyle habits, eat a light diet, work and rest regularly, and avoid exertion.
