Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient selection: Diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and accompanied by recorded atrial flutter (at least one episode of AF and AFL confirmed by 12-lead electrocardiogram, 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram or clinical records, which can coexist or be recorded separately by multiple electrocardiograms, and AFL can terminate spontaneously or convert to atrial fibrillation, with the duration of AFL episode < 12 hours). 2. Radiofrequency ablation therapy: Patients who have undergone circumferential pulmonary vein isolation or have undergone (or not) isthmus ablation of the tricuspid valve simultaneously. 3. Postoperative data: A 12-lead electrocardiogram is required after ablation
Exclusion criteria

Presence of severe structural heart disease (moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, hereditary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, or other severe valvular diseases); 3. Thyroid dysfunction; 4. Contraindication to anticoagulation or inability/unwillingness to adhere to standard anticoagulation; 5. Patients unable or unwilling to commit to completing the scheduled follow-up as per the protocol
