Figures & data

Table 1 Average differences in goal achievement at the end of 33 months follow-up

Figure 1 Attainment of at-goal rates at the completion of the 33 months for subjects who were at-goal versus not at-goal for the measured cardiovascular risk factors.

Abbreviations: SBP, systolic blood pressure; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; T, total.

Figure 2 Sex differences in COSEHC™ risk scores.

Notes: Although sex has a direct influence on the Consortium for Southeastern Hypertension Control™ (COSEHC) risk factor scoring, the data show a significant increase in the risk for females who are not at-goal at the end of the examined period. Values are means ± standard deviation of the risk score for males and females with one (A) or two or more (B) medications. Statistical differences are denoted in the graph. All other comparisons were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

Figure 3 Clinical events documented during the 33 months for the overall patient population.

Notes: Data are from events recorded by physicians using International Classification of Disease, 9th revision (ICD-9) codes starting with 410 (see Methods). Stroke includes both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke.
Abbreviation: ACS, acute coronary syndrome; TIA, transient ischemic attack; CHF, congestive heart failure; CVD, other cardiovascular events.
