Abstract：
In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert consensus document was issued, guiding healthcare professionals involved in catheter or surgical AF ablation. Mounting research evidence and technological advances have resulted in a rapidly changing landscape in the field of catheter and surgical AF ablation, thus stressing the need for regularly updated versions of this partnership which were issued in 2012 and 2017. Seven years after the last consensus, an updated document was considered necessary to define a contemporary framework for selection and management of patients considered for or undergoing catheter or surgical AF ablation. This consensus is a joint effort from collaborating cardiac electrophysiology societies, namely the European Heart Rhythm Association, the Heart Rhythm Society, the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society, and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society .
摘要：
在过去的三十年里，心房颤动(AF)消融已成为治疗最常见心律失常的安全有效的循证治疗方法.2007年发表了第一份联合专家共识文件,指导参与导管或外科AF消融的医疗保健专业人员。越来越多的研究证据和技术进步导致了导管和外科AF消融领域的快速变化。因此强调需要定期更新2012年和2017年发布的这种伙伴关系的版本。上一次共识七年后，我们认为有必要更新文件,以便为考虑或接受导管或外科AF消融术的患者提供选择和管理的当代框架.这一共识是合作心脏电生理学学会的共同努力，即欧洲心律协会，心律协会,亚太心律学会,和拉丁美洲心律协会。
