Fig. 2 NYHA functional class (A) and health status (B) of the 59 long-term survivors at the last follow-up interview. A, Good health, no functional limitations; B, mild to moderate limitations of activity because of chronic medical problem; C, chronic disease producing serious but not incapacitating restriction of activity. D, severe restriction of activity because of disease, includes persons bedridden or institutionalized because of illness.

Fig. 3 Nottingham Health Profile part I at last follow-up interview. Comparison of mean scores obtained for study population and control community population, divided according to age: younger than 55 years (A) and 55 years old or older (B). Number above each column refers to number of persons interviewed. For each category, possible scores ranged from 0 to 100; lower scores denote fewer difficulties. Asterisk indicates p < 0.001.
