Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main endpoint of the study is development or recurrence of AF, or completion of five year follow up period. We will test the correlation between HSP levels and development or recurrence of AF, and the correlation between degree of electropathology and development/recurrence of AF. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The relationship between the atrial conduction pattern as visualised by epicardial mapping and structural tissue characteristics will be tested. | — |
