Distribution of patient across the baseline T/QRS values.

<p>For each initial baseline T/QRS value encountered in our data set, we counted the number of patients with that particular baseline, showing a non-symmetric distribution with the most frequent encountered baseline T/QRS ratio at 0.12.</p

Baseline characteristics of the included patients.

<p>Baseline characteristics of the included patients.</p

The number of ST events per 1000 T/QRS values as a function of the initial baseline T/QRS value.

<p>Cases with the same initial baseline T/QRS were grouped. The intensity of the black colour of the data points relates to the total number of T/QRS ratios that occurred in the group (right column in the graph). The red line represents a linear fit through the data points. There is an average increment of 1.42 ST events per 1000 T/QRS values for a rise of 0.1 of the initial baseline T/QRS. The correlation coefficient between data points and fit was 0.63 (p <0.001), as calculated with the linear regression model.</p
