Figure 2 Rates of cardiac death (CD) (open bars) and myocardial infarction (MI) (solid bars) plotted according to left ventricular (LV) systolic function as measured by ejection fraction (EF) by gated single-photon emission computed tomography. Cardiac events increased with worsening LV function with a sharp increase in CD with severely depressed LV function.
