Figure 2. Bar chart showing the prevalence and estimated changes if lifelong systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased across its distribution by 5, 10, or 22.7 mm Hg (22.7 mm Hg represents a shift from the current mean of 137.7 to 115 mm Hg) separately for each cardiovascular outcome and for high‐prevalence outcomes (current UK prevalence >200 per 10 000) (A) and lower‐prevalence outcomes (current UK prevalence <200 per 10 000) (B).

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (all) comprises ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. Hemorrhagic stroke (all) comprises subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage.
