Figure 1 This figure presents sequential changes of left ventricular ejection fraction (A), exercise capacity (functional capacity score) (B), and changes in left ventricular end-systolic volume (C) in patients with sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF) with and without atrioventricular junction (AVJ) ablation. Significance values within the single groups are given in Tables 2 and 4. Also included (D) below the legend are the total number of patients reaching the different follow-up visits and the number of deaths that occurred in the time interval since last follow-up.
