Figure 5 Independent predictors for the composite primary end point (death or myocardial infarction [MI]) in the invasive strategy group according to multivariate analysis. The scale on the x-axis is logarithmic. CI = confidence interval; LMD = left main coronary artery disease; RR = risk ratio; VD = vessel disease.
