Figure 1 Event-Free Probability Curve for MI, VD, and IS

Event-free probability curve for myocardial infarction (MI) (A), vascular death (VD) (B), and ischemic stroke (IS) (C) based on presence of mitral annular calcification (MAC), which demonstrated a significant increase in each of these vascular outcomes related to its thickness. The incidence of MI, VD, and IS was 13.8, 20.3, and 10.7/1,000 person-years, respectively, in subjects with MAC, and 4.7, 7.5, and 6.1/1,000 person-years, respectively, in subjects without MAC.
