Figure 1. Mean (± standard error) values of conventional and advanced echocardiographic measures are displayed across increasing tertile of systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure in the total study sample.

Conventional echocardiographic measures include left ventricular mass and relative wall thickness; advanced measures include the signal intensity coefficient and myocardial structural index. P values are for non-parametric tests of trend cross tertiles of each blood pressure measure.
