Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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.

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes

predictive effect of endovascular function on recurrence of AF

We will do the multi-logistic analysis of the recurrence of AF.

Time frame: Up to 1 year
