2. Figure 1
Incidence of non–sudden cardiac death (non-SCD) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic patients after acute myocardial infarction. A: Kaplan-Meier curve for non-SCD shows the significant difference between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. The difference becomes evident early after myocardial infarction. B: Curve for SCD illustrates the significant difference of SCD incidence between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. The slope of the accelerated portion of the delayed SCD risk curve is much steeper for diabetic patients than for nondiabetic patients.

3. Figure 2
Kaplan-Meier curves illustrate the difference in incidence of non–sudden cardiac death (Non-SCD; A) and sudden cardiac death (SCD; B) for diabetic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) >35% and nondiabetic patients in the same EF group. The curves also illustrate the identical incidence of SCD between diabetic patients with EF >35% and nondiabetic patients with EF ≤35% and the significantly higher incidence of non-SCD in the latter group compared to diabetic patients with EF >35%. Diabetic patients with EF ≤35% have an extraordinary high incidence of sudden cardiac death after myocardial infarction. DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus.
