Figure 3:

Bar graph depicts the 4 possible binary combinations of median pulse pressure cut-points (≥68 verses <68 mm Hg) and DBP cut-points (<70 versus 70–89 mm Hg) that predicted recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the 791 initial CVD event survivors with ≥1 office visits. The highest event rate occurred in individuals with DBP<70 mm Hg and pulse pressures of ≥68 mm Hg that predicted CVD events significantly (p<0.0001 across the 4 DBP x pulse pressure groupings. Chi Square = 32.6). No other binary paring of pulse pressure and DBP showed significant prediction of CVD events.
