Figure 1.

Achieved mean SBP was similar across tertiles of baseline DBP, while achieved mean DBP was lower among participants in the lowest tertile of baseline DBP comred with the highest tertile. Follow-up minimum, median, 25th and 75th percentiles and maximum of patients' mean follow-up systolic BP (SBP; A) and diastoic BP (DBP; B) by randized SBP intervention and tertile of baseline DBP. Note that 75 of 2646 subjects (2.8%; 47 in the standard group and 28 in the intensive group) had missing BP measurements after month 2 and were excluded.
