Fig 1 Survival free of atrial fibrillation (AF) after Cox maze III surgery. (AAD = antiarrhythmic drugs.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2006 81, 1773-1779DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2005.10.007) Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Comparison of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) quality of life scores between patients who underwent Cox maze III surgery (black bars; n = 27) and a control group of 120 healthy subjects (gray bars) in our database (with age- and sex-matched distribution). Data are shown as scores (maximum value = 100) on the eight scales of the SF-36. No statistical difference could be demonstrated on any scale.
