Figure 2 This bar graph depicts the lifetime costs associated with the successful implementation of two blood pressure goals. This model was derived using a 60-year-old diabetic hypertensive patient with no prior history of cardiovascular or end-stage renal disease. This figure was adapted with permission from reference 50. ESRD = end-stage renal disease; HF = heart failure; MI = myocardial infarction.
