Patients were grouped by the presence or absence of AF, and simple descriptive statistical analysis was performed to assess baseline demographics and premorbid condition of the patients.

Patients with AF more often had a higher classification of dyspnoea according to the New York Heart Association and lower ejection fractions compared with their AF-free counterparts.
