Numerical data are expressed as the deviation. Categorical data as numbers (percentages). Nonparametric data are expressed as the median (interquartile range). BSA: body surface area; BMI: body mass index; AF: atrial fibrillation; Prxm AF: paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; Pst or pmnt AF: persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation, respectively. # value, value, value.
