Figure 2. Rate of late recurrent AF 2 years following PVI stratified by quintile of left atrial passive emptying function (LAPEF).

Figure 2

There was a decrease in the AF recurrence rate from lowest to highest LAPEF (P for linear trend <0.001). Patients in the lowest quintile of LAPEF (worst function) had a 2-year recurrence rate of 60.5%, while those in the highest quintile (best function) had a 2-year recurrence rate 17.3%.
