(C) Ejection fraction and event rate. (D) Number of hypokinetic segments and event rate. Numbers of patients with cardiac events are indicated in parentheses. n.s. = not statistically significant.

Open bar = without wall motion abnormality; closed bar = with wall motion abnormality; All ev = all cardiac events; Hard ev = hard events only; n.s. = not statistically significant.
