Figure 2 Relation between left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and predicted change in mortality for patients with viable (circles) versus nonviable (triangles) myocardium based on the results of meta-regression. This demonstrates increasing potential for improved survival with lower left ventricular EF in patients with viable myocardium, p < 0.0001 (broken plot line), but not in those without viability, p = 0.11 (continuous line).
