Figure 1 Risk in the five heart rate subgroups (placebo) defined as number of deaths and number of patients hospitalized, respectively, per patient-year of follow-up. (Left) Data given for total mortality, sudden death, and death from heart failure. The right panels illustrate risk for all-cause hospitalizations, for cardiovascular (CV) hospitalizations, and for hospitalizations due to worsening heart failure. Because risk was similar in quintile (Q) 1 to Q4, data are also illustrated for Q1 to Q4 merged into one group (Q1 to Q4). The p values refer to the difference in risk between Q1-4 and Q5. CHF = chronic heart failure.
