Association of Aortic Valve Calcium Severity and Continuous Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure in Participants without Treated Hypertension.

	Unadjusted Exp(β)† (95% CI)	Adjusted* Exp(β)† (95% CI)
Systolic BP‡	1.07 (1.00, 1.15)	1.06 (0.99, 1.14)
Diastolic BP‡	1.07 (0.91, 1.25)	1.05 (0.89, 1.23)
Pulse pressure‡ (Systolic BP-Diastolic BP)	1.09 (1.00, 1.19)	1.09 (0.98, 1.20)

^*Adjusted for gender, race, body mass index, smoking, diabetes mellitus, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and lipid lowering meds

^†Exp(β) = relative difference in geometric mean AVC score per higher 10mmHg of blood pressure level.

^‡per 10 mmHg increase
