  Figure 2. Distribution of biomarkers: distribution of left atrial size (diastolic left atrial diameter), PR interval, NT-proBNP, and the novel atrial markers BMP10 and ANGPT2 in the study population illustrated by bar chart (lower part) and box plot (upper part).

  Figure 3. LA size and outcome. First primary outcome (A), a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, or unplanned hospitalization for heart failure or acute coronary syndrome, and recurrent AF (B) is associated with diastolic LA diameter shown as hazard ratio (HR) from Cox regression in this study population. (C) Aalen–Johnsen cumulative curves for first primary outcome.

  Figure 4. (A) Aalen–Johnsen cumulative curves for first primary outcome dependent on severity of atrial cardiomyopathy (AtCM). (B) Bar chart of hazard ratio for first primary outcome of severity classes of atrial cardiomyopathy (AtCM), no atrial cardiomyopathy was used as a reference (dotted line). (C) Aalen–Johnsen cumulative curves for recurrent AF dependent on severity of atrial cardiomyopathy.
