Table 2.
Most significant features contributing to the regression models evaluating the efficacy of each antihypertensive medication in the RIGIPREV study. This table highlights the key features that provide the most information for each regression model, which represents the efficacy of different antihypertensive drugs, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), β-blockers (BB), diuretics (DIU), and combinations.
