Abstract
The quality of life (QoL) of patients after radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation according to the WHOQOL-BREF scale is significantly worse in the presence of relapse. Significant negative correlations between the number of paroxysms and the QoL of patients were revealed. If there is a significant decrease in QoL (score 10 or less on the WHOQOL-BREF scale), consideration should be given to the need for re-ablation.
