Values are least square mean ± SE, adjusted for concurrent age, sex, cohort assignment (primary/secondary), and machine type. CAN+ included R-R variation <20 plus Valsalva ratio ≤1.5 or a decrease of >10 mm Hg in DBP upon standing as defined in Methods.

DBP = diastolic blood pressure; LV = left ventricular; other abbreviations as in Table 1.
