Figure 1 Independent Baseline Predictors
Independent baseline predictors of (A) 5-year incidence of the primary outcome (death from any cause, nonfatal reinfarction, or New York Heart Association functional class IV heart failure requiring hospitalization or a stay in a short-stay unit) and (B) 5-year incidence of death alone. Hazard ratios (HR) (black squares) and 99% confidence interval (CI) (horizontal lines) are shown. CV = cerebrovascular; EF = ejection fraction; GFR = glomerular filtration rate; MI = myocardial infarction; PVD = peripheral vascular disease,.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier Survival Curves
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for Cox model low-risk (A), medium-risk (B), and high-risk (C) tertiles for the composite outcome (death from any cause, nonfatal reinfarction, or New York Heart Association functional class IV heart failure requiring hospitalization or admission to a short-stay unit) or death. The group of patients randomized to medical treatment (MED) are represented by dashed lines; the group of patients randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment are represented by solid lines. CHF = congestive heart failure; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
