Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.. ROC curve analysis of different CHADS2 cutoff values in the young and elderly groups.
(A): ROC curve analysis of CHADS2 of 1, 2 and 3 for predictive probability of mortality in the younger group; and (B): ROC curve analysis of CHADS2 of 1, 2 and 3 for predictive probability of mortality in the elderly group. AUC: area under curve; ROC curve: receiver operating characteristic curve.

Figure 2.. Kaplan Meier survival analysis according to the CHADS2 score in young versus elderly groups.
(A): Kaplan Meier survival analysis according to the CHADS2 Score 0–1 vs. ≥ 2 and above in the younger age group; (B): Kaplan Meier survival analysis according to the CHADS2 Score 1–2 vs. ≥ 3 in the older age group.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.. Kaplan Meier survival analysis according to the presence of AF in young versus elderly groups.
(A): Kaplan Meier survival analysis according to the presence of the AF in the younger age group; (B): Kaplan Meier survival analysis to the presence of the atrial fibrillation in the older age group. AF: atrial fibrillation
