Effect of Intensive Blood Pressure Control on Cardiovascular Remodeling in Hypertensive Patients with Nephrosclerosis

Figure 1

Trend in pulse pressure over time for the low and usual blood pressure groups. The median (connected by horizontal line), 25th percentile (low end of vertical bars) and 75th percentile (upper end of vertical bars) of the pulse pressure measurements at selected follow-up assessments are indicated. All available data were included at each time point. Numbers at the 10-, 22-, and 34-month assessments were 499, 447, and 412 for the low goal and were 497, 433, and 393 for the usual goal.
