Fig 2 Actuarial survival rates for two different preoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) cohorts, comparing LVEDD greater than 65 mm and LVEDD 65 mm or less (hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 7.4; p = 0.002). Patients at risk per cohort are shown under the x-axis (LVEDD greater than 65 mm in bold; LVEDD 65 mm or less in regular setting).

Fig 3 Actuarial survival rates for two different preoperative left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) cohorts, comparing LVESD greater than 50 mm and LVESD 50 mm or less (hazard ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 6.4; p = 0.012). Patients at risk per cohort are shown under the x-axis (LVESD greater than 50 mm in bold; LVESD 50 mm or less in regular setting).
