Figure 8. Crude cumulative incidences of echocardiographic normalization, cardiac transplantation and death among children with myocarditis (combined biopsy-confirmed myocarditis and probable myocarditis groups), and abnormal function at presentation.

(A) With or (B) without left ventricular end-diastolic dilation at diagnosis. The two groups differed in the incidence of cardiac transplant (p = 0.02) and echocardiographic normalization rates (p < 0.001), but not mortality (p = 0.45). Curves are truncated at 8 years.
