Figure 5 The PAF-free rate curves according to Kaplan-Meier analysis in patients with and without an elevated ANP level. The bold line (25 patients with an elevated ANP level  60 pg/ml) and the narrow line (50 patients without an elevated ANP level) show the PAF-free rate. The numbers at the bottom are the number of patients in each group at risk for the event (PAF attack) at study entry and after each 100-day period. The PAF-free rate was significantly lower in patients with rather than without an elevated ANP level.
