Figure 3 (A) Percentage of patients (n = 1,123) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) below 0.45 estimated by echocardiography before discharge in relation to tertiles of the NT-proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels at randomization and tertiles of the percentage decrease of NT-proBNP from randomization to day 2. (B) Percentage of patients with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 in the coronary arteries in patients randomized to the invasive strategy (n = 474) in relation to tertiles of the NT-proBNP levels at randomization and tertiles of the percentage decrease of NT-proBNP from randomization to day 2.
