This is an observational study of pulsed field ablation, a minimally invasive procedure used to treat atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Researchers will follow 1,200 patients who receive this treatment and monitor them closely over one year to understand how early signs of the heart rhythm returning can predict long-term success.
Doctors need better tools to predict which patients will have lasting benefit from this heart rhythm procedure and which ones might need additional treatment. This study will help create a risk assessment tool so doctors can identify high-risk patients sooner and adjust their care plan accordingly.

You will receive the pulsed field ablation procedure at West China Hospital. After the procedure, you'll return for structured follow-up visits at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. At each visit, you'll wear a portable heart monitor (called a Holter monitor) for 24 hours to check whether your heart rhythm has stayed regular and to measure any irregular heartbeats.
