Figure 1 Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing graph showing the relationships between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the rate of progression of coronary atherosclerosis (n = 274). An SBP in the range of approximately 120 to 140 mm Hg corresponded to no net progression or regression of coronary disease. Values above this range were associated with progression and those below were associated with regression of disease.
