Text: After adjustment for time-varying systolic and diastolic blood pressures, treatment allocation, age, gender, baseline Framingham risk score, ECG strain, heart rate, urine albumin/creatinine ratio, smoking, diabetes, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and occurrence of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and noncardiovascular death, both in-treatment CP and SLV remained predictive of SCD : each 1-SD-lower CP was associated with a 19 % lower risk of SCD (HR, 0. 81 ; 95 % CI, 0. 73 to 0. 90) and 1-SD-lower SLV with an 18 % lower risk (HR, 0. 82 ; 95 % CI, 0. 70 to 0. 98).
