Cumulative rate and number at risk are specified beneath each time point (21). ICD = implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Figure Legend:

Although the rates of both sudden and all-cause mortality increase with age, the rate of increase in all-cause mortality is greater, resulting in a lower proportion of sudden deaths. Figure Legend:
