Comparisons between patients with CAD and healthy controls on incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) indices
| Overall CAD (n = 53) | Controls (n = 19) | Intergroup p value* | Group × exercise effects† | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F(1, 70) | p Value | ||||
| Data are mean (SD) or median (interquartile range). | |||||
| *Unpaired Student’s t or Mann-Whitney U test; †two way analysis of variance with repeated measures of the exercise effect in group by exercise interactions. | |||||
| Δ indicates changes after ISWT; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate; RPE, rate of perceive exertion; SBP, systolic blood pressure. | |||||
