Figure 1 Plasma aldosterone levels in individuals with hypertension (HTN) stratified by number of anti-HTN drugs taken. The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; lower box, Q1; upper box, Q3; and diamond, mean. The whiskers extend to 1.5 × the interquartile range (IQR) above and below the box (or the maximum or minimum values if there are no points outside of 1.5 × IQR from the box). The circles are outliers.

Figure 2 Inverse relationship between plasma aldosterone and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in participants with hypertension. Aldosterone is analyzed by tertiles and ANP as a continuous variable (mean [95% CI]). P = .007 adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and glomerular filtration rate.
