PAT Result Clinical Trial
— HEAFOfficial title:
Endovascular Function in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
1. recruit 50 patients with atrial fibrillation and 30 controls
2. endovascular function assessment with Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT)
3. follow up the occurence of AF

| Primary | endovascular function results | The method to assess the endovascular function is PAT. The index is Reactive hyperemia index (RHI). RHI between patients and control will be compared. | Up to 24 weeks. | No |
| Secondary | predictive effect of endovascular function on recurrence of AF | We will do the multi-logistic analysis of the recurrence of AF. | Up to 1 year | No |
