All-cause mortality - coronary mortality
Figure 1: All-cause mortality (top) and coronary mortality (bottom) in normotensive and hypertensive men and women depending on pulse pressure categories; data obtained from [8].

Morbidity - Mortality
Figure 2: Reduction in morbidity and mortality by antihypertensive treatment in patients with isolated systolic hypertension. Metaanalysis from randomised trials; data from [24]

Pulse pressure
Figure 3: Reduction in pulse pressure by different antihypertensive drug classes in three different comparative trials. Open bars represent data from [27], light grey bars represent data from [28], solid bars represent data from [29]. CCB = calcium channel blockers; ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ARB = angiotensin- receptor blockers.

Eprosartan - blood pressure
Figure 4: Effects of eprosartan on different blood pressure components in patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) or systodiastolic hypertension (SDH). In patients with ISH the effect on systolic (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) is maintained, whereas the effect on diastolic (DBP) and mean (MBP) pressures is clearly less pronounced.
