Fig 2. Comparison of Kaplan—Meier estimates for probability of (A) free of all cause death, (B) free of cardiovascular death, and (C) free of heart failure-related rehospitalization among the falling, stable, and rising groups.

All cause death and cardiovascular death were not different among the falling, stable, and rising groups (Fig 2A, B). HF-related rehospitalization was significantly lower in falling group (p = 0.047; log-rank test; Fig 2C).
