Figure 1 MACE-Free Survival
Major adverse cardiac event (MACE)-free survival rates in the 4 prespecified groups of patients according to the presence of diabetes and the number of diseased vessels. The multivessel disease (MVD) diabetic patients experienced a more severe MACE-free survival curve than the other groups, and single-vessel disease (SVD) nondiabetic patients survived better, whereas SVD diabetic patients and MVD nondiabetic patients experienced similar survival curves. The MACE rate was defined as a composite of occurrence of cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis (by any Academic Research Consortium definition).
