Degree of the pre-CABG left ventricular dyssynchrony (left) and degree of viable myocardium (right) in patients who died versus survived during the first 30 days after CABG. CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting.

Agreement between the presence (+DYS) or absence (–DYS) of severe pre-CABG left ventricular dyssynchrony (119 ms) (top), the absence (–viable) or presence (+ viable) of viable myocardium (<5 viable segments) (bottom) and the 30-day mortality. AUC = area under curve; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft; DYS = dyssynchrony.

Receiver-operating characteristic curves to predict clinical events occurring from day 31 after CABG to the end of the follow-up period for pre- and post-CABG left ventricular dyssynchrony and the number of dysfunctional but viable segments. Sp = specificity; Ss = sensitivity; other abbreviations as in Figure 2.

Kaplan-Meier estimates of the time to death from any cause or hospitalization for worsening heart failure between day 31 after CABG to the end of the follow-up period in patients without post-CABG dyssynchrony (<72 ms) and with large area (5 segments) of viable myocardium (blue solid line), patients without post-CABG dyssynchrony (<72 ms) and with small area (<5 segments) of viable myocardium (green dotted line), patients with significant post-CABG dyssynchrony (72 ms) and large area (5 segments) of viable myocardium (red solid line), and patients with significant post-CABG dyssynchrony (72 ms) and small area (<5 segments) of viable myocardium (orange dashed line). Pairwise comparison between groups is shown in accompanying table. CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; DYS = dyssynchrony.
