Figure 4 3-Year Probability of Survival
Patients with improved, intermediate, or worsened left ventricular (LV) function. Patients who died during the first 6 months were not included in this analysis. Point null in the graph indicates the time point 6 months after occurrence of acute myocardial infarction.
