Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time to major cardiovascular events*. *Major cardiovascular events; a composite of cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, unknown type of stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular intervention due to angina pectoris, and sudden death. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Time to various events onset*. * In addition to each component of major cardiovascular events, followings are considered as "various events": hospitalization by angina pectoris; hospitalization by heart failure, aortic dissection; occlusive arteriosclerosis; end stage renal insufficiency; doubling of serum creatinine values; new onset of atrial fibrillation; dementia; need of nursing care; total death. 2. Change in blood pressure 3. Increase of CAVI or ABI value. 4. Development of left ventricular hypertrophy 5. Adverse event | — |
