Figure 3.
Association between systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse pressure (PP) and cardiovascular events, subdivided by self-reported history of previous cardiovascular disease (A, C, E) and by baseline troponin-I concentration (B, D, F). For each plot, categories of blood pressure contain similar numbers of events. Hazard ratios adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, country, education, smoking status, previous diabetes mellitus, estimated glomerular filtration rate, renal replacement therapy status, body mass index, and treatment allocation are quoted (above squares) with numbers of events (below). Exclusions as per Table. *Hazard ratios per 10 mm Hg higher usual SBP/PP are presented for associations where there is no evidence of deviation from a log–linear relationship. CI indicates confidence interval; CVD, self-reported history of cardiovascular disease; HR, hazard ratio; and TnI, troponin-I (ng/mL).
