Figure 1 (A) Relationship between Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index and mortality in non–ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (line smoothed to fit data). (B) Relationship between TIMI risk index and mortality in ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI), NSTEMI. Inset graph shows mortality in full group by diagnosis. HR = heart rate; RT = reperfusion therapy; SBP = systolic blood pressure.
