Figure 3 Kaplan-Meier curves showing cumulative survival according to maximum left ventricular (LV) thickness. Survival free of cardiovascular mortality is shown for four different thickness classes. Because no event occurred in patients with maximum LV thickness 15 mm, this particular subgroup was excluded from the analysis, for added clarity. A comparison of survival curves showed that there was no trend toward increasing mortality for increasing values of maximum LV wall thickness.
