				        	Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum visfatin level and the risk of relapse after radiofrequency ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods:The clinical data of 1 120 patients with AF who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and treated with radiofrequency ablation from June 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the general data as well as the results of preoperative and postoperative 12 months 24 h echocardiography and laboratory test index were collected. Followed up for 12 months, the patients′recurrence of AF was observed, and the changes of preoperative and postoperative 12 months echocardiography and laboratory test index were compared between the patients with and without recurrence of AF; the risk factors affecting the recurrence of AF after radiofrequency ablation were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis, the correlation of visfatin level and the recurrence of radiofrequency ablation was analyzed by Pearson test.Results:The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the patients′ age ( OR = 2.344), body mass index ( OR = 2.090), persistent AF ( OR = 3.655), hypertension ( OR = 3.529 ), coronary artery disease ( OR = 4.035), preoperative left atrial diameter (LAD) ( OR = 3.644 ), visfatin level ( OR = 2.136 ) and postoperative 12 months LAD ( OR = 2.046), left atrial volume index(LAVI) ( OR = 2.237), atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) ( OR = 3.600), visfatin ( OR = 3.699), and highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ( OR = 3.586) levels at 12 months postoperatively were risk factors for recurrence in AF patients ( P<0.05). In the recurrence group, there were no statistical differences in LAD, LAVI, ANP, visfatin, and hs-CRP levels at 12 months postoperatively compared with preoperative levels ( P>0.05). The results of Pearson test showed that there was a positive correlation between AF recurrence and visfatin level after radiofrequency ablation ( r = 0.420, P = 0.013). Conclusions:There are many factors affecting AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in patients with AF, the common ones are age, left heart enlargement, hs-CRP level, etc. Meanwhile, high level of visfatin before and after surgery is also an important factor of AF recurrence.
