Figure 3 Cumulative number of patients who had DC cardioversion with relapse (atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter), subdivided by treatment group. The log-rank test of equality over treatment groups yielded a p value = 0.002; hence, the two treatment groups differ significantly with regard to the rate of relapse. The p value refers to the complete follow-up time (intention-to-treat approach).
