Figure 3
Percentage of younger ICD patients who died of cardiac causes (), stratified by appropriate shocks and Type D personality. NS = not significant; other groups are significantly different from each other. Shocks (−) = no appropriate shocks during follow-up; Shocks (+) = one or more appropriate shocks during follow-up; Type D (−) = no Type D personality; Type D (+) = Type D personality. Number of patients who died of cardiac causes and total number of patients within each risk subgroup are presented on top of each bar.
