Figure 1 Survival of the three groups of patients with extensive (group 1), intermediate (group 2), and limited (group 3) myocardial viability based on low-dose wall motion scores. The two patients with perioperative deaths are included. Log-rank p values comparing survival among the three groups at five years and for the complete duration of the study are shown at the bottom of the figure. At five years, survival of group 1 was better than group 2, and there was a trend towards improved survival in group 2 compared with group 3. For the complete duration of the study, there was a trend towards improved survival in group 1 versus group 2. Survival of group 3 remained worse than groups 1 and 2.
