Effect of intensive versus standard blood pressure lowering on the mean Cornell index during follow up

Study visit	Standard BP lowering Mean (SE)	Intensive BP lowering Mean (SE)	P- value
Baseline	1470 (13)µV	1456 (13) µV	0.45
Follow up	1447 (8) µV	1352 (9) µV	<.0001

All models accounted for the assignment to the intensive glucose lowering intervention and each of the seven clinical center networks. Model was also adjusted for baseline Cornell index values.

Cornell index is defined as the sum of the R amplitude in aVL and S amplitude in V3 in microvolt
