Fig. 1 Comparison of life-table stroke-free rates and life-table stroke-free survival rates in our carotid endarterectomy patients. Shaded area represents nonstroke-related mortality.

Fig. 2 Life-table survival for patients with (group I) and without (group II) overt coronary disease. N values for each time point are shown, p < 0.0001 for group I versus group II survival.

Fig. 3 Life-table, myocardial infarction—free rates for patients with (group I) and without (group II) overt coronary disease. N values for each time point are shown, p = 0.0002 for difference in myocardial infarction—free rates between groups. Note similarity between myocardial infarction—free rates and survival rates (Fig. 2) within groups.

Fig. 4 Life-table survival for patients without overt coronary disease but with (group IIA) and without (group IIB) risk factors (diabetes, cigarette use, hyperlipidemia). N values for each time point are shown, p = 0.01 for difference between groups. Note similarity of survival up to 3 years and divergence thereafter.

Fig. 5 Life-table, myocardial infarction—free rates for patients without overt coronary disease but with (group IIA) and without (group IIB) risk factors (diabetes, cigarette use, hyperlipidemia). N values for each time point are shown, p = 0.024 for difference between groups. Note similarity between infarction-free and survival rates (Fig. 4) within groups. Note similarity of infarction-free rates between groups up to 3 years and divergence thereafter.
