Figure 1 Relative hazard for cumulative death after discharge from a coronary care unit. A history (Hx) of heart failure is the greatest independent hazard among dichotomous variables. The level of renal function risk is the most important independent factor. *p < 0.00001. **p = 0.0001. ***p < 0.03. ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use before admission; ASA = aspirin use before admission; BB = beta-blocker use before admission; Dx severity = cardiac intensive care unit admission diagnosis severity rank; Hb = hemoglobin in g/dl.
