Figure 3. Relationship of systolic and diastolic blood pressures at enrollment and mean previous year systolic blood pressure with probability of treatment change.

Each curve is shown with the other 2 blood pressure components adjusted to their mean value and the intensification rate for the average provider and clinic site. For each blood pressure component, the curve is presented only for a range of values actually seen when the other 2 components are both close to their mean (±10 mm Hg of the mean value).
