  1. HRQOL scores at basal and at one-year follow-up in patients with and without AF during follow-up. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. PCS: Physical Component Summary; MCS: Mental Component Summary; AF: atrial fibrillation. FU: Follow-up.
  2. [*] p < 0.05, [**] p < 0.01, [ns] no significant, for the differences in HRQOL at one-year follow-up between patients with or without AF during follow-up.
  3. ♦ p < 0.05; ♦♦ p < 0.01: p-values for the differences at one-year follow-up compared with basal values in each group.
  4. ♠ p = 0.02 for the differences at basal between patients with or without AF during follow-up. No significant differences in any of HRQOL remaining dimensions at basal between the two groups.
  5. No significant difference were found for HRQOL differences values (one year follow-up - basal) between patients with or without AF during follow-up.
