Figure 3 Receiver-Operating Characteristic Analysis for ST2 and Death at 1 Year
Receiver operating characteristic analysis with area under the curve (AUC) demonstrated for ST2 and death at 1 year after presentation with dyspnea. Candidate cut-points for ST2 are depicted. CI = confidence interval.

Figure 4 Hazard Curves Depicting the Rates of Death From Presentation to 1 Year of Follow-Up
Among dyspneic patients with ST2 concentrations 0.20 ng/ml, a high rate of mortality was noted among those (A) with and (B) without acute heart failure (all log-rank p values <0.001).

Figure 5 Mortality Rates at 1 Year as a Function of ST2 and NT-proBNP Concentrations
Mortality rates at 1 year as a function of ST2 and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations among (A) dyspneic patients with and without acute heart failure (HF) (n = 593) as well as (B) those with acute HF (n = 208).
