Values are mean (SD) or mean (%).
↵3-151 p < 0.0001, within group comparison of change from week 12 to week 28 by one way analysis of variance;
↵3-152 p = 0.048, within group comparison of change from week 28 to week 48 by Student's t test. Significant same week, between group comparisons using Student's ttest are given by * for p < 0.05 and *** for p < 0.001.
↵3-153 p = 0.01 and ¶p = 0.029, between group comparison of EST+ at week 12v week 28 and week 28v week 48, respectively, using Fischer's exact test.
D, diet group; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; EST+, positive exercise stress test; HR, heart rate; S, statin group; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
