Figure 2 Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier Curves Stratified by LV Geometric Patterns

Kaplan-Meier estimates for clinical outcomes for all-cause mortality (A) and the CV composite end point (CV death, recurrent MI, heart failure, stroke, and resuscitated sudden death) (B) were determined for LV geometric patterns and were presented as event curves. There was a wide spectrum of risk across the categories of LV geometrical patterns, with early divergence of the Kaplan-Meier curves for mortality and composite end point, particularly between patients with normal geometry and those with concentric hypertrophy. Concentric hypertrophy carried the greatest CV risk, followed by eccentric hypertrophy, and then concentric remodeling, underscoring the importance of increased LV mass and RWT as important risk predictors following high risk MI.
