View larger version (13K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 Multivariate predictors of all cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction or unstable angina) and hard cardiac events (death or myocardial infarction) after uncomplicated AMI. The risk associated with a given variable is espressed by a relative risk (RR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. DE = dobutamine echocardiography.
