Figures & data
Figure 1. Flowchart for selecting the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants for analysis.
Table 1. Characteristics of included participants with high BP.
Table 2. Characteristics of 487 high-BP participants free of anti-hypertensive medication use.
Table 3. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of potential influencing factors for long-term CAC = 0 among high-BP participants (n = 830).
Table 4. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of potential influencing factors for long-term CAC = 0 among high-BP participants free of anti-hypertensive medication use (n = 487).
Figure 2. Percentage of participants with and without long-term coronary artery calcium (CAC) stratified by baseline risk factor profile. ASCVD: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Figure 3. Receiver-operating characteristic curve for evaluating the incremental effects of ASCVD risk factors, absence of carotid plaques beyond the baseline risk model. ASCVD: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; AUC: the area under the curve.
