Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common heart rhythm disturbance which carries with it an increased risk of having a stroke and a 2-fold risk of dying. Although there have been many advances in our understanding of AF, a cure for most people has not been found. We are interested in studying people who are at an increased risk of developing AF but have not done so yet. We plan to do this by mapping the electrical activity of the heart from it�s surface during open heart surgery. This research may lead to a more effective treatment for AF.

房颤(房颤)是一种非常常见的心律紊乱，它会增加中风的风险和2倍的死亡风险。虽然我们对房颤的认识有了很大的进步，但还没有找到治疗大多数人的方法。我们有兴趣研究那些有更高的房颤风险，但还没有这样做的人。我们计划通过绘制心脏直视手术期间�S的心脏表面的电活动图来完成这项工作。这项研究可能会导致一种更有效的治疗房颤的方法。
