  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation or Percentage(number). P value from comparison between AF group and non AF group. ACEI indicates angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; AF, atrial fibrillation; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; BMI, body mass index; CCB, calcium channel blockers; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate, FBG, fasting blood glucose; LDL-C, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MI, myocardial infarction; PP, pulse pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SUA, serum uric acid; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides. eGFR was calculated according to Cockcroft-Gault equation.
