(A) APWV (62 WCH, 341 MH, 254 SH, and 1,347 NT in the untreated [control] group; 27 WCH, 109 MH, 128 SH, 145 NT among the treated group). (B) Cystatin C Level (69 WCH, 381 MH, 276 SH, and 1,443 NT in the untreated group; 30 WCH, 118 MH, 144 SH, and 167 NT in the treated group). (C) UACR (73 WCH, 389 MH, 292 SH, and 1,516 NT in the untreated group; 31 WCH, 126 MH, 153 SH, and 175 in the treated group). APWV = aortic pulse wave velocity; BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; NT = normotension; SH = sustained hypertension; UACR = urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
