*Unit change in the parameter tested for hazard analysis is based on clinical relevance.

†p Values are derived from univariable Cox proportional hazard analysis.

CMR, cardiovascular magnetic resonance; LV, left ventricular; RV, right ventricular.

Significant univariable predictors of first-onset sustained atrial arrhythmia are formatted bold and italic.
