Fig. 5From: Mitral valve repair and concomitant maze procedure versus catheter ablation in the treatment of atrial functional mitral regurgitationThe overall survival and freedom from readmission of HF of patients with or without persistent MR and persistent AF at discharge. A represents the overall survival of patients with or without persistent MR at discharge (P < 0.0001), B represents the overall survival of patients with or without persistent AF (P = 0.028), C represents the freedom from readmission of HF of patients with or without persistent MR at discharge (P = 0.001), D represents the freedom from readmission of HF of patients with or without persistent AF at discharge (P < 0.0001)Back to article page
