Louis A Lanza, MD, Antonio I Visbal, MD, Patrick A DeValeria, MD, Alan R Zinsmeister, PhD, Nancy N Diehl, Victor F Trastek, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 75, Issue 1, Pages (January 2003) DOI: /S (02)

2 Fig 1 The logarithm of total hospital charges and the duration of hospital stay for patients who received low-dose oral amiodarone (LDOA) as prophylaxis for atrial fibrillation after pulmonary resection and for patients who did not receive LDOA. Patients who received LDOA had lower incremental charges per day of hospital stay (Slope 1 vs. Slope 2: p = ). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (02) )
