Figure 3 A Kaplan-Meier curve of long-term stroke eventsThere was no significant difference in stroke events at the 3.3-year follow-up between patients with and without an increase of ≥20% from the baseline left atrial dimension (10.4 vs 7.1%; log-rank P=0.325). However, a significant difference in stroke events between patients with and without an increase of ≥20% from the baseline left atrial dimension was observed at the 10-year follow-up (17.7 vs 9.9%; log-rank P=0.047). LAE – left atrial enlargement.
