Figure 2 Response to treatment by baseline quartiles. Inter-treatment changes from baseline quartiles of left ventricular internal diastolic diameter (LVIDd) and ejection fraction (EF) at months 4, 12, and 24 and the end point are least-squares mean values by analysis of covariance. Open bars = placebo; solid bars = valsartan. Asterisks indicate significant placebo-subtracted changes from baseline, based on least-square mean values (p < 0.05). Global, across-quartile treatment differences at each time point are not significant.
