Secondary Outcome

The success rate of involvement will be evaluated by defining "successful involvement" as the use of the "atrial fibrillation app" function at least once a week during the 4-week preoperative period to the 8-week postoperative period.
The influence of the atrial fibrillation app on intervention will be evaluated by assessing the evaluation of the "atrial fibrillation app" and the degree of anxiety about information technology, and the involvement in successful/unsuccessful intervention will be evaluated.
