Criteria of selection used for both groups were the same. The mortality rate in the CCU group was 11% compared to 31% of the prior group. There was no single case of sudden death due to primary ventricular fibrillation, though only one due to ventricular asystole in the CCU groups. Our findings also were compared with those reported of elsewhere and the difference is discussed. The reasons for lower mortality rate and sudden death are explained.
