Figure 1. Kaplan‐Meier curves with the end point of sudden cardiac death (SCD) based on carotid intima‐media thickness (C‐IMT) quartiles in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study (A) and CHS (Cardiovascular Health Study) (B).
The x axis shows analysis time (years). P<0.001 for all C‐IMTs in A, and P<0.0001 in B. CCA‐IMT indicates common carotid artery intima‐media thickness.
