Comparison of cumulative rate of initial MACE and all cause of mortality between patients with asymptomatic CAD and without CAD. (a) Asymptomatic patients with CAD had a significantly higher MACE rate than patients without CAD (P<0.0001, log-rank test). (b) Mortality rates were not significantly different between asymptomatic patients with and without CAD.
