Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disturbance with a prevalence of approximately 1% but which increases markedly with age. It causes debilitating symptoms, heart failure, stroke and increased mortality. It is an important determinant of neuro-cognitive decline and dementia. The studies in this proposal will help define the mechanism of this rhythm disturbance and its associated symptoms. They will help design improved treatment strategies including interventional approaches.

房颤是最常见的心律失常，发病率约为1%，但随着年龄的增长，其发病率显着增加。它会导致虚弱的症状、心力衰竭、中风和增加死亡率。它是神经认知功能衰退和痴呆症的重要决定因素。这项建议中的研究将有助于确定这种节律紊乱的机制及其相关症状。他们将帮助设计改进的治疗策略，包括介入方法。
