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

Table 3

Association of  new incidence of  LVH by year 4 with blood pressure  (baseline, 𝑁=531 (110 events), mean follow-up, 𝑁=530 (110 events)).

	Time period for blood pressure assessment	OR (95% CI)	P  value
Diastolic BP  (per 10 mmHg)	Baseline	1.15 (0.97–1.37)	0.112
	Mean follow-up	1.14 (0.85–1.55)	0.38
Systolic BP  (per 10 mmHg)	Baseline	1.08 (0.98–1.20)	0.12
	Mean follow-up	1.26 (1.06–1.51)	0.01
Pulse pressure  (per 10 mmHg)	Baseline	1.06 (0.92–1.22)	0.41
	Mean follow-up	1.26 (1.04–1.54)	0.02

Baseline covariates are: age, gender, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol,  uric acid, BMI, GFR, HCT (%), smoking status, education, and urine protein/creatinine ratio.
