3.5 Comparison between PAF and PsAF
The PAF and PsAF patients were comparable, with no statistical
difference in age and gender between them (p > 0.05, Table
1). The LA diameter and body mass index (BMI) was higher in the PsAF
than PAF (p < 0.05). There was no difference in the esophageal
route (above or below CPL) distribution between PAF and PsAF (p
> 0.05). There was no difference in the average distance
from CPL or MPL to the esophagus, in the presence of a fat pad in the
course of the CPL or MPL or myocardium and fat pad thickness in the
course of the CPL or MPL between PAF and PsAF patients (p >
0.05).
