Abstract
Chronic atrial fibrillation can be eliminated by an atrial compartment operation, but additional partition on the right atrium impairs the recovery of right atrial mechanical function. Thus, it is important to appropriately divide the atria for both maintaining sinus rhythm and maximizing atrial mechanical function.
