Fig. 1 Univariate odds ratio with 95% confidence interval for hospital mortality. Variables marked with an asterisk were statistically significant in a multivariate model (p < 0.05). (CABG = concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting; EF = ejection fraction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 64, 1089-1095DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00800-X)

Fig. 4 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for hospital survivors. (A) Degree of left ventricular dysfunction. (B) Preoperative diuretic use. (EF = ejection fraction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 64, 1089-1095DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00800-X)
Fig. 5 Aortic regurgitation was found to be a significant predictor of poor late survival (A), whereas patients with aortic stenosis had long-term outcomes similar to those of all other patients (B). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 64, 1089-1095DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00800-X)
Fig. 6 Univariate hazard ratio with 95% confidence interval for late mortality. Variables marked with an asterisk were found to be statistically significant in a multivariate model (p < 0.05). (CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; CCS = Canadian Cardiovascular Society functional classification of angina; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure; NYHA = New York Heart Association classification.)
