Methods: The clinical data including clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of 21 patients who had suffered from cardiac tamponade during RFCA for cardiac arrhythmias were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The incidence of cardiac tamponade gradually decreased along with the extension of learning curve. It was significantly higher in females than in males (5.4‰ vs . 1.2‰, P vs . 1.2‰, P Conclusions: Cardiac tamponade during RFCA is associated with learning curve, gender (female), and age.
