Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) can be a very different disease from permanent or chronic AF. Triggers are important for initiating paroxysmal AF, whereas substrate abnormalities are necessary for maintaining permanent AF. Although the natural history of paroxysmal AF is not exactly known, many patients will progress to the more permanent form.
