Patients' Characteristics.
Figure 1.
Laboratory parameters and exercise capacity in PH with and without AF.
NT-pro-BNP, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea nitrogen (BUN) and 6-minute walk distance of patients with PH were compared in those with AF (PH-AF) and SR (PH-SR). * p<0.05. Error bars representing standard error of mean.

Effect of AF on NYHA class and renal function in PH.
Figure 2.
Hemodynamic parameters associated with AF in PH.
Left atrial (LA) diameter and right atrial (RA) area were measured by echocardiography in PH-AF compared to PH-SR. PCWP and mean right atrial pressure (RAPmean) were obtained by right heart catheterization in the presence (PH-AF) or absence (PH-SR) of AF in patients with PH. * p<0.05.
