Inclusion Criteria
1. Initial diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, confirmed by 12 lead electrocardiogram and judged by primary care physician to be eligible to participate
2. Aged 25 years or over
3. Recruitment blood pressures should be in the range 90–180mmHg for SBP and 40–130mmHg for DBP. If patients with blood pressures outside these ranges are available they may be included but only to a maximum of four such pressures. The number of subjects in each recruitment range (SBP: low <130mmHg, medium 130160mmHg, high >160mmHg; DBP: low <80mmHg, medium 80100mmHg, high >100mmHg) must be between 10 and 12 subjects.
Exclusion Criteria
