Mean values (standard deviation) and % (n) were reported for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
AF, atrial fibrillation; AV, atrioventricular; ECG, electrocardiogram; HR, heart rate; LBBB, left bundle branch block; PAC, premature atrial complex; PVC, premature ventricular complex; RBBB, right bundle branch block.
