Figure 1 Survival curves for patients with and without left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy showing unadjusted (A) and adjusted (B) comparisons of the two groups. Numbers at the bottom of the plots show the number of patients at risk at 0 and 5 years of follow-up. H = LV mass high; N = LV mass normal.

Figure 2 Survival curves for patients with and without left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy showing black (A) and white (B) patients adjusted for demographic and clinical characteristics. Numbers at the bottom of the plots show the number at risk at 0 and 5 years of follow-up. H = LV mass high; N = LV mass normal.
