Figure 1

Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating survival of 101 dogs newly diagnosed with degenerative mitral valve disease and categorized by pretreatment anemia status (hemoglobin concentration < 12.5 g/dl and/or packed cell volume < 35%). Data for dogs that were still living (n = 34) at the conclusion of the study were censored (hatch marks).
