Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Experimental group.

Patients with sinus rhythm for other reasons who are to undergo surgical intervention Control group. ? Between the ages of 18-80 years ? Patients with atrial fibrillation other than those with possible access to the left heart system for marking and ablation, e.g. severe vasovagal syncope for left atrial GP ablation, supraventricular tachycardia or ventricular premature involvement of the left bypass, etc. (iii) No contraindications to cardiac electrophysiological investigations and surgical treatment with radiofrequency ablation. (iv) Patients with sinus rhythm for other reasons for surgical open heart surgery.
