Unadjusted curves displaying cumulative risk of recurrent AF, generated using Kaplan-Meier method. (A) Overall risk of recurrent AF among individuals with and without acute precipitants. (B) Overall risk of recurrent AF among individuals with infection, cardiac surgery, and noncardiothoracic surgery compared with no precipitant. These 3 precipitants were selected for display because the risk of recurrent AF was significantly lower compared with the referent group without precipitants in multivariable adjusted models. Individuals with other AF precipitants were excluded from this plot for clarity. Reproduced with permission from Wang et al.3 Copyright 2020 American Heart Association, Inc.
