Timeline of implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator outcomes according to Decile 1 (A), Decile 2 (B), Decile 3 (C), and Decile 3 with time of appropriate therapy represented by in (D). This is a unique graphical representation of the clinical outcomes of each patients in the study. Each horizontal line represents a single patient. Time in months is represented on the horizontal axis. Each time line starts at the time on device implant and follows the patient until study end (follow-up or death). Patients are grouped in clinical outcomes (T1–T3). This novel presentation of the data allows easy comparison of the outcomes of patients in each age category and illustrates how the proportion of patients who die prior to follow-up increases with age while there is little/no difference in the proportion who receive appropriate therapy between the groups. FU, follow-up.
