  1. Numbers given in the right column are the N(%) of patients in each risk group who were hospitalized for atrial fibrillation during the study period. SBP = systolic blood pressure, LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography as specified in the DMMS Wave II facility questionnaire, available at http://www.usrds.org/research.htm
