| Type of arrhythmia | Secondary prevention (n=50), n (%) | Primary prevention (n=54), n (%) | P* |
|---|---|---|---|

*P<0.05 is significant. Data are presented as frequency (%). Sinus tach: Sinus tachycardia, V-tach: Ventricular tachycardia, NSVT: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, AF: Atrial fibrillation, AFL: Atrial flutter, SVT: Supraventricular tachycardia, AT: Atrial tachycardia, VF: Ventricular fibrillation
