Figure 1. Flowchart depicting the enrollment and analyses of
the study population.
Figure 2. The distribution of sick sinus syndrome from the
incident atrial fibrillation (AF). The red line indicates AF diagnosis.
Figure 3. The cumulative incidence of the sick sinus syndrome
(SSS) before (A and B) and after censoring for stroke (C and D) in the
overall population (A and C) and propensity score (PS)-matched
population (B and D).
Figure 4. Hazard ratios (HR) for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) in
different subgroups in the overall population. Boxes indicate the HR,
limit lines indicate the 95% confidence interval (CI), and the
horizontal line (at HR 1) indicates no difference in the HR between
atrial fibrillation (AF) and no-AF.
