Figure 5 Example of a High-Risk Patient With EF >30%
Graphical representation of the hypothetical patient described in the text as example C. This patient’s ejection fraction (EF) is greater than 30%, but because symptomatic heart failure and inducible VT are present, the risks for both total mortality and arrhythmic death are comparable to those of some patients with much lower EF. Abbreviations as in Figures 3 and 4.
