We designed this study primarily as a study of the predictive value of baseline risk factors, not as a longitudinal study of time-dependent risk factors. The best that we can offer is that 41 patients (20 with normal oxygen extraction fraction and 21 with increased oxygen extraction fraction) were taking antihypertensive medication at the time of entry into the study.
