  "abstract": "Traditionally, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are categorised based on their temporal patterns of AF presentation into paroxysmal and persistent AF.1 Additionally, failure of rhythm control interventions, by antiarrhythmic drugs or catheter ablation, is typically defined at the first AF recurrence, even if that episode of recurrent AF is short, asymptomatic and singular.1 Classification of temporal patterns of AF and binary AF recurrence after rhythm control interventions often fails to accurately represent the actual time spent with AF, and both classifications do not always correlate well with relevant clinical outcomes.2",
