2. Figure 1. Rates of death or MI (A), death only (B), and MI only (C) for all patients during heparin infusion and in the 12-hour periods after heparin discontinuation for patients who received placebo (n=3068) or eptifibatide (n=3118).
Figure 1. Rates of death or MI (A), death only (B), and MI only (C) for all patients during heparin infusion and in the 12-hour periods after heparin discontinuation for patients who received placebo (n=3068) or eptifibatide (n=3118). Events on heparin therapy were divided by mean hours of therapy for the group and then multiplied by 12 to normalize to events per 12-hour period.

Figure 2. Event rates for the subset of patients who were on placebo (n=1537) or eptifibatide (n=1651) at the time of heparin discontinuation. Event rates on heparin and after its discontinuation are shown as in Figure 1 for death or MI (A), death only (B), and MI only (C).
