Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Thin solid line = patients with an minimum lumen artery (MLA) <7.5 mm2 who underwent revascularization (group A); thick dashed line = patients with an MLA <7.5 mm2 who were deferred for revascularization (group B); thick solid line = patients with an MLA ≥7.5 mm2 who underwent revascularization (group C); thin dashed line = patients with an MLA ≥7.5 mm2 who were deferred for revascularization (group D); p < 0.05 groups A, B, C, D; p = 0.28 across groups A, D; p = 0.48 across groups A, C; p = 0.86 across groups C, D.
