Figure 3 Dependence of mortality during EMIAT follow-up on the cut-off values of depressed HRV. For each HRV value, the graphs show the mortality in patients with HRV measure ≤ the value on the horizontal axis (that is, when using the value on the horizontal axis as a dichotomy cut-off). Open areas = noncardiac mortality; grey areas = cardiac nonarrhythmic mortality; solid areas = arrhythmic mortality. HRV = heart rate variability.
