All values are presented as median [range]. ^†, without three patients who were treated with warfarin; ^‡, NTproBNP levels were available only in n=13 patients in total, thereof n=4 in the Mustard and n=9 in the Senning group; *, statistical significance with P<0.05. NA, not available; INR, international normalized ratio; aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time.
