Relationship of odds ratio for echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured using 3 different methods. Odds ratios and their 95% CIs are plotted together with the chi‐square and P values. As measured by the likelihood ratio test, the strength of the relationship between SBP and LVH was stronger for daytime ambulatory BP (ABPM) than routine SBP and LVH (P=0.032). The strength of the relationship of LVH and research‐grade SBP was stronger than that with routine SBP (P=0.005) The strength of the relationship of LVH and daytime ambulatory SBP was similar to that with research‐grade SBP (P=0.052).
