The registry will assess demographical, physical activity, toxicologic and genetic factors, as well as current management regarding anticoagulation, anti-arrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation. As an observational registry, patient will be managed with the guidelines-directed standard-of-care.

• First episode of atrial fibrillation
• Less than 35-year-old
