FIGURE 3. On-Treatment Blood Pressure Categories and Risk of Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction, Total Stroke (Fatal and Nonfatal), Nonfatal Stroke, Heart Failure, and Revascularization.

FIGURE 3

Cumulative event rate for nonfatal myocardial infarction (A) was lower in the group with achieved systolic blood pressure (SBP) <140 mm Hg or 140 to <150 mm Hg. For risk of total stroke (B) and nonfatal stroke (C), cumulative event rate was lowest in the group with achieved SBP <140 mm Hg. For risk of heart failure (D) and risk of revascularization (E), cumulative event rate was similar among the 3 groups. Patients who achieved SBP <140 mm Hg had the lowest rate of the primary outcome, cardiovascular mortality, and fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction compared with the groups with achieved SBP ≥140 mm Hg.
