  Figure 1. Distribution of 90-day blood pressure and outcomes. (A) The mean systolic blood pressure is not significantly different between patients with and without predefined outcomes. (B) Mean diastolic blood pressure is significantly higher in patients with incident lacune (P=0.01) and is borderline significantly higher in patients with cerebral microbleed (CMB) increase ≥2 per year (P=0.10) or incident stroke (P=0.09) compared to those without these outcomes. The shaded area indicated standard deviations of blood pressure.
