  • Each value is mean±SD or number (%). *p<0.05 vs Normal, **p<0.05 vs hypokinetic by Scheffe's post hoc analyses after one-way analysis of variance.

  • fQRS, fragmented QRS complexes; HR, heart rate; Max ST, maximum level of ST change; Max T waves, maximum amplitude of positive or negative T waves at lateral precordial leads; QTc, corrected QT interval.
