About

This is a prospective, observational clinical study with150 patients of persistent AF (trial group 1), 150 patients of paroxysmal AF (trial group 2), and 150 healthy subjects (control group). The trial is divided into two parts. The aim of first part is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of magnetocardiography on diagnosing persistent AF, and the second part is to evaluate the independent predictors of magnetocardiography on predicting recurrence of paroxysmal AF. The patients who had been diagnosed with AF in OPD or IPD will be included. After signing the informed consent letter, medical history of all subjects will be collected, including magnetic cardiogram, 12-lead electrocardiogram, holter electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound and blood tests. Patients with paroxysmal AF will be followed up for 3 months, and the recurrence of AF is the observation end point.

Inclusion criteria：

Persistent AF is recorded by ECG before the examination of the magnetocardiogram;
Detailed clinical records, including medical history, cardiovascular risk factors, blood tests, and antiarrhythmic drug therapy;
It is recommended that antiarrhythmic drugs be discontinued at least 5 days before the examination and continue if atrial fibrillation occurs or the symptoms of atrial fibrillation are obvious;

Exclusion criteria:
