Figure 4 Multivariate Determinants of Cardiac Events

Multivariate analyses displaying hazard ratios ± 95% confidence intervals (x-axis) for developing myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac death. This model includes risk factors for coronary arteriosclerosis and MI. As shown, a stress-induced increase of wall motion score index (WMSI) is an independent predictor of MI and cardiac death after accounting for these variables. BMI = body mass index; CMR = cardiovascular magnetic resonance; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
