Framingham 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risk scores for individuals with refractory hypertension, resistant hypertension and treated hypertension.

Characteristic	Refractory	Resistant	Treated
10-year CHD risk*	17.5 (10.0 – 26.0)	11.7 (6.4 – 19.7)	7.9 (4.2 – 14.3)
	Difference in 10-year CHD risk†
Refractory vs. resistant hypertension	Reference	4.0(0.8–7.2)‡
Refractory vs. all treated hypertension	Reference		7.0 (4.6 – 9.5)§
10-year stroke risk†	20.8 (12.9 – 31.3)	16.2 (9.2 – 26.8)	9.5 (5.3 – 17.0)
	Difference in 10-year stroke risk†
Refractory vs. resistant hypertension	Reference	5.1 (1.8 – 8.5)∥
Refractory vs. all treated hypertension	Reference		8.1 (5.9 – 10.3)§

Individuals with prevalent CHD at baseline were excluded from the 10-year CHD risk calculation. Individuals with prevalent stroke at baseline were excluded from the 10-year CHD risk calculation.

^*Median (25% - 75%).

^†Numbers reported are difference in median (95% confidence interval) 10-year risk after adjustment for age, race, sex, and geographic region of residence.
