HTN: hypertension, DM: diabetes mellitus, AF: Atrial fibrillation, IHD: ischemic heart disease, CHF: congestive heart failure. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD, while categorical variables were expressed as frequency and percentage. P value was calculated using independent t test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables.
