Figure 2 Total mortality was not different between the three study groups (sotalol group versus ICD group p = 0.623, sotalol group versus ICD/sotalol group p = 0.9, ICD group versus ICD/sotalol group p = 0.63). In the sotalol group and the ICD/sotalol group two patients died suddenly respectively, in the ICD group one patient died suddenly. Minimum value on the y-axis is 50%! (see methods for the definition of sudden death, cardiac death and noncardiac death).
