Table 3.

Event rates categorized by METs achieved

Outcomes	<7 METs (N=464)		≥7 METs (N=588)
	PCI+OMT (N=241)	OMT (N=223)	PCI+OMT (N=286)	OMT (N=302)
^*Death/MI (151 events)	46(19%)	36(16%)	38(13%)	31(10%)
Death (58 events)	18(7%)	13(6%)	11(4%)	16(5%)
MI (108 events)	32(13%)	28(13%)	29(10%)	19(6%)

METs = metabolic equivalents; MI = myocardial infarction; OMT = optimal medical therapy; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.

Some patients had MI before their subsequent death. For the primary outcome analysis of Death/MI, only the first event was included (time to first event). Hence, the overall Death/MI events are lesser than Death plus MI alone.
