Demograpical information of patients included in these studies. Data are presented as mean±SD, unless otherwise indicated. A Fisher's exact test was performed on sex and ethnicities, and P values were determined using the method of summing small P values. For all other categories, pairwise comparisons were made using 2‐sample t tests. All P values are displayed. Bpm indicates beats per minute.
