We studied physiological and psychological differences between pts. with paroxysmal (parAF) and persistent or permanent AF (perAF). In a study of 1430 pts (50.5% men; 67±8 y.) with cardiovascular risk factors, 41 had a history of parAF and 45 had perAF, while the remaining 1344 pts had no history of AF and were in current sinus rhythm (SR).
