CPET heart rate data, stratified by heart rate change during unloaded cycling (zero workload) of patients acclimatised to the exercise bike conditions
| Normal | EHRR | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-exercise | |||
| Resting heart rate (per min) | 82 (81 to 84) | 82 (80 to 83) | 0.75 |
| Zero workload heart rate (per min) | 88 (86 to 89) | 104 (101 to 106) | <0.001 |
| Heart rate change, zero workload (per min) | 5 (5 to 6) | 22 (20 to 23) | <0.001 |
| Exercise | |||
| Peak heart rate during CPET (per min) | 134 (132 to 137) | 135 (132 to 139) | 0.56 |
| Heart rate change, from baseline (per min) | 51 (48 to 54) | 53 (50 to 56) | 0.60 |
Data are shown as mean (95% CIs).
Data analysed by one-way ANOVA.
ANOVA, analysis of variance; CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise testing; EHRR, exaggerated heart rate rise.
