Figure 2. Incidence of Death from Any Cause, According to Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction.

Figure 2.

Shown are the results of a landmark analysis that included data from the 318 patients who underwent myocardial viability testing and had paired imaging (i.e., assessed with the same imaging method at each time point) at baseline and at 4 months for measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Kaplan-Meier estimates of death from any cause among patients with improvement in LVEF and among patients without such improvement were compared with the use of a Cox proportional-hazards model with adjustment for baseline covariates.
