Figure 5

Comparisons of untreated and treated male (blue) and female (red) populations with various intervention parameters (medications reducing atheroma and clot growth rates).

Normalized data show that for both genders, the percentage of SCD within a given population is decreased for the treated subpopulations compared to the untreated. Likewise, the mean number of arrhythmias is also reduced, while the mean number of years to atheroma rupture is increased across both sexes and all intervention parameters. Raw data values printed above bars for comparison. Simulated cohorts contained 5000 individuals for both male and female groups.
