Official Title: Markers of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Esophageal Holter Electrocardiography

Brief Summary: With the use of esophageal Holter electrocardiography (eECG), the investigators will look for surrogate markers of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. To do so, the investigators will record eECGs in patients with known paroxysmal atrial fibrillation but at the time of eECG-recording in sinus rhythm. To identify markers, the eECGs of those patients will be compared to a group of controls in sinus rhythm without atrial fibrillation. The investigators hypothesis is that it is possible to identify surrogate markers in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
