2 Fig. 1 Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival curves for overall freedom from death and freedom from sudden cardiac death. Time 0 is the time of operation. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

3 Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival curves as stratified by older and younger age groups. No difference was noted by log-rank test. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

4 Fig. 3 Kaplan-Meier actuarial survival curves as stratified by left ventricular function. The difference was statistically significant by the log-rank test. (LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )
