<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background—</jats:title> <jats:p> The progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) from paroxysmal to persistent forms remains a major clinical challenge. Abnormal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> leak via the ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) has been observed as a source of ectopic activity in various AF models. However, its potential role in progression to long-lasting spontaneous AF (sAF) has never been tested. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that enhanced RyR2-mediated Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release underlies the development of a substrate for sAF and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods and Results—</jats:title> <jats:p> CREM-IbΔC-X transgenic (CREM) mice developed age-dependent progression from spontaneous atrial ectopy to paroxysmal and eventually long-lasting AF. The development of sAF in CREM mice was preceded by enhanced diastolic Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release, atrial enlargement, and marked conduction abnormalities. Genetic inhibition of Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II–mediated RyR2-S2814 phosphorylation in CREM mice normalized open probability of RyR2 channels and SR Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release, delayed the development of spontaneous atrial ectopy, fully prevented sAF, suppressed atrial dilation, and forestalled atrial conduction abnormalities. Hyperactive RyR2 channels directly stimulated the Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> -dependent hypertrophic pathway nuclear factor of activated T cell/Rcan1-4, suggesting a role for the nuclear factor of activated T cell/Rcan1-4 system in the development of a substrate for long-lasting AF in CREM mice. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions—</jats:title> <jats:p> RyR2-mediated SR Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> leak directly underlies the development of a substrate for sAF in CREM mice, the first demonstration of a molecular mechanism underlying AF progression and sAF substrate development in an experimental model. Our work demonstrates that the role of abnormal diastolic Ca <jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release in AF may not be restricted to the generation of atrial ectopy but extends to the development of atrial remodeling underlying the AF substrate. </jats:p> </jats:sec>
