Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier survival plots of control and congestive heart failure (CHF) subjects with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are displayed. Survival of men (A) and women (B) with CHF with reduced LVEF was lower than that of age-matched control subjects of the same gender. The overall 5-year survival for CHF cases with reduced LVEF was only 36%, compared with 78% for matched control subjects (log-rank p < 0.0001).
