Using personalized digital twin (DT) technology, we investigated the association between 3D transmurally heterogenous fibrosis architecture and endo\u2010epicardial dissociation in PsAF. LGE\u2010MRI scans from 21 PsAF patients were used to generate bi\u2010atrial DTs. Following virtual induction of reentry using programmed stimulation, a comparative analysis of the electrophysiological and structural properties of reentry\u2010sustaining regions (RRs,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a091) against controls (non\u2010RRs,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a073) was performed. RRs exhibited significantly greater endo\u2010epicardial dissociation compared to non\u2010RRs, evidenced by larger differences in median transmembrane potential (60.1\n                      <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      . 4.1\u00a0mV,\n                      <jats:italic>P\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a00.001) and local activation times (55\n                      <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>\n                      . 14.9\u00a0ms,\n                      <jats:italic>P\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a00.001). Lower dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was observed in RRs compared with non\u2010RRs (median 0.731 (IQR 0.660\u20130.812)\n                      <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.880 (IQR 0.642\u20130.971), respectively;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.0009). In multivariable logistic regression, fibrosis percentage, transmembrane voltage difference, and DSC were independently associated with RR status, whereas LAT difference was not. Our findings reveal that 3D transmurally heterogeneous fibrosis architecture is associated with endo\u2010epicardial electrical dissociation in PsAF, with increased dissociation observed in regions harbouring reentrant circuits. Our findings advance the mechanistic understanding of PsAF arrhythmogenesis and provide a rationale for developing novel mapping and ablation strategies that account for the transmural complexity of the atrial substrate.\n                      <jats:boxed-text content-type=\"graphic\" position=\"anchor\">\n                        <jats:graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" mimetype=\"image\/png\" position=\"anchor\" specific-use=\"enlarged-web-image\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/tjp70751-gra-0001-m.png\">\n                          <jats:alt-text>image<\/jats:alt-text>\n                        <\/jats:graphic>\n                      <\/jats:boxed-text>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) remains a significant clinical challenge, often marked by high rates of post\u2010ablation recurrence.
