Change in Atrial Fibrillation Burden over Time in Patients with Nonpermanent Atrial Fibrillation

Table 3

Combined, mixed effect model for the relationships of atrial fibrillation burden and clinical, laboratory, and left atrial echocardiographic parameters.

	β (95% CI)	value
Age	−0.31 (−1.1; 0.48)	0.4
Sex	−4.57 (−18.56; 9.41)	0.5
History of stroke	29.87 (2.61; 57.13)	0.03
BNP	0.05 (0.01; 0.08)	0.007
Ejection fraction	−0.2 (−0.65; 0.25)	0.4
Deceleration time	−0.06 (−0.13; 0.02)	0.1
E-wave	−1.45 (−35.15; 32.25)	0.9

Data are β coefficients (95% confidence interval). Atrial fibrillation burden was used as the outcome variable. Participant identity numbers were computed as the random effect. 3D echocardiographic parameter. BNP = brain natriuretic peptide.
