heart.long <- heart.valve[, c(1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)]
heart.jd <- jointdata(longitudinal = heart.long, 
      survival = heart.surv, id.col = "num", time.col = "time")
# Randomly select a pair of subjects to plot profiles of
take <- sample(1 : max(heart.jd$survival$num), 2)
heart.jd.1 <- subset(heart.jd, take[1])
heart.jd.2 <- subset(heart.jd, take[2])
plot(heart.jd.1, Y.col = 4)
lines(heart.jd.2, Y.col = 4, lty = 2)
