(A–C) Kaplan–Meier curves for the time to sudden cardiac death according to groups of (A) aldosterone concentration, (B) cortisol concentration, and (C) combined aldosterone and cortisol status at baseline. The categories are: (A) aldosterone: Group 1: <15 pg/mL, Group 2: 15–100 pg/mL, Group 3: 100–200 pg/mL, Group 4: >200 pg/mL; log-rank test Group 1 vs. Group 4: P = 0.06. (B) Cortisol: quartile 1: <13.2 µg/dL, quartile 2: 13.2–16.8 µg/dL, quartile 3: 16.8–21.1 µg/dL, quartile 4: >21.1 µg/dL; log-rank test quartile 1 vs. quartile 4: P = 0.16. (C) Aldosterone and cortisol combined: Group 1: low aldosterone <15 pg/mL and low cortisol <13.2 µg/dL, Group2: high aldosterone >200 pg/mL and high cortisol >21.1 µg/dL log-rank test Group 1 vs. Group 2: P = 0.003.
