Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly sustained arrhythmia, information about its incidence in the general population is sparse. Even more sparse is information on an important variety of AF, paroxysmal AF. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of new cases of symptomatic paroxysmal AF per year ('incidence') in a general unselected population and to compare other epidemiological features with chronic AF patients.
