Data are expressed as numbers (percentage) and mean ± standard deviation. AMIO = amiodarone; WXKL = Wenxin Keli; HTN = arterial hypertension; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus; ACEI/ARBs = angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitiors/angiotensin receptor blockers; CCBs = calcium channel blocker. “Onset of AF” means the time from the onset of AF to the record of AF.
