Figure 4. Association between DD progression or regression and hypertension status.

All subjects in these analyses were normotensive at their first echocardiogram. The first pair of columns (Progressed) show the percentages of subjects, who progressed from normal diastolic function to grade 1 DD at the second echocardiogram, stratified by hypertension status at the second echocardiogram. The second pair of columns (Regressed) lists the percentages of subjects who went from grade 1 DD to normal diastolic function at their second echo. The numbers represent the counts underlying the percentages. P-values are for differences in proportions by Fisher’s exact test.
