Abbreviations: CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazards ratio; PTCA, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

a

Hazard ratios represent the ratio of screening vs no-screening participants from unadjusted Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.

b

Log-rank P values are derived from unadjusted actuarial survival analysis.

c

One patient had 2 secondary events.

d

Three patients underwent both PTCA and CABG surgery.
