Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia) which carries with it an increased risk of having a stroke and a twofold risk of dying. At present, we still have only a limited understanding of the mechanism of AF when it becomes persistent. The aim of this study is to determine the critical mechanism of persistent AF in patients with different types of heart conditions. This knowledge is fundamental to the development of more successful curative approaches.

心房纤颤（AF）是一种非常常见的心律失常（心律失常），它会增加中风的风险和死亡的两倍风险。目前，我们对房颤持续发生的机制仍有一定的认识。本研究的目的是确定不同类型心脏病患者持续性AF的关键机制。这些知识对于开发更成功的治疗方法至关重要。
