Figure 1 Cummulative survival curves for all patients in the study (solid line, n = 134), for patients without left ventricular dilation (solid bar, n = 97) and for patients with left ventricular dilation (dotted line, n = 37). Mortality was significantly (p = 0.00018) higher in patients with left ventricular dilation (32%) compared with patients who did not show left ventricular dilation (5%).
