Relationship between AF types and beta-blocker therapy on aSKNA, VR and
slopes of linear regression. The box-and-whiskers plots (A-C) show that there
were no differences of aSKNA, VR and average slope of linear correlation,
respectively, between paroxysmal and persistent AF. The box-and-whiskers plots
(D-F) show that beta blocker (BB) therapy did not change the aSKNA, VR or the
slopes of linear correlation, respectively. P values were determined by the
Mann-Whitney U test.
