We investigated the association between P\u2010wave morphology (P\u2010wave duration (Pd), PQ interval, P\u2010wave amplitude (PWA) in leads II, V2, and V6) and late arrhythmia recurrence. Patients were classified into groups using statistical methods, and differences in recurrence and predictive scores for low voltage areas (LVA) among the groups were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 1005 paroxysmal AF patients undergoing initial CA were included.

Hierarchical clustering defined three phenotypes: Phenotype 1 (isolated low PWA), Phenotype 2 (isolated prolonged Pd) and Phenotype 3 (low PWA with prolonged Pd). At 1\u2010year, cumulative recurrence rates were 10.1% (95% CI 0.8\u201315.7), 7.0% (4.7\u20139.6), and 36.2% (30.8\u201342.3) for Phenotypes 1\u20133; at 3\u2010year, rates were 17.4% (12.8\u201323.3), 10.2% (7.4\u201314.0), and 61.2% (54.8\u201367.6). Phenotype 3 showed the highest risk, with HRs of 4.84 (95% CI 3.42\u20136.84) versus Phenotype 1 and 7.44 (4.34\u201312.8) versus Phenotype 2 (both\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
