Effects of training programme on supine and tilted values of heart rate and blood pressure
| Study 1 | Study 2 | Difference | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supine heart rate (beats/min) | 71.4 (2.5) | 64.7 (2.2) | −6.6 (0.5) | 0.0001 |
| Tilted heart rate (beats/min) | 91.9 (3.7) | 86.0 (3.3) | −5.9 (0.5) | 0.0001 |
| Supine systolic pressure (mm Hg) | 109 (1.8) | 104 (1.6) | −5.1 (0.4) | 0.0001 |
| Tilted systolic pressure (mm Hg) | 111 (2.1) | 110 (2.0) | −1.2 (1.1) | NS |
| Supine diastolic pressure (mm Hg) | 62 (1.8) | 56 (1.4) | −6.0 (0.6) | 0.0001 |
| Tilted diastolic pressure (mm Hg) | 76 (1.4) | 71 (1.1) | −5.8 (0.4) | 0.0001 |
Values are mean (SEM) from 14 patients, before and after the training programme. Significance of changes was assessed using the t test for paired data.
