Core Tip	Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence may occur in more than one-third of patients after radiofrequency catheter ablation. Identifying patients at higher risk of recurrence allows for closer monitoring of those at high risk. The APPLE score has already been validated for this purpose. However, inflammation appears to play a crucial role in AF recurrence in this context. Wang et al combined the systemic immune inflammation index with the APPLE score showing a better predictivity of AF recurrence after ablation.
