Text: After adjustment for known risk factors, medication use at enrollment, and baseline systolic blood pressure, patients with hypertension had a significant increase in the risk of experiencing a combined cardiovascular event (47. 7 % vs 31. 3 % ; hazard ratio [HR], 1. 49 ; 95 % CI, 1. 28-1. 74), cardiovascular death (23. 4 % vs 15. 9 % ; HR, 1. 40 ; 95 % CI, 1. 12-1. 74), heart failure (27. 7 % vs 15. 5 % ; HR, 1. 64 ; 95 % CI, 1. 34-2. 02), and all-cause death (27. 4 vs 19. 3 % ; HR, 1. 25 ; 95 % CI, 1. 02-1. 53), and a similar but statistically non-significant increase in the risk of non-fatal or fatal recurrent MI (17. 4 % vs 10. 9 % ; HR, 1. 27 ; 95 % CI, 0. 98-1. 65), and non-fatal or fatal stroke (5. 0 % vs 3. 6 % ; HR, 1. 31 ; 95 % CI, 0. 81-2. 09).
