Core Tip	To optimize outcomes after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (Afib), understanding predictors of recurrence is crucial. The systemic immune inflammation index (SII) has emerged as a practical tool to identify patients at higher risk. This biomarker, based on neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts, reflects systemic inflammation-a key driver of atrial remodeling and recurrence. Integrating SII with existing scoring systems, like the APPLE score, enhances risk prediction and allows for personalized treatment strategies, promoting better long-term outcomes and targeted care for Afib patients.
