Dizziness Unstable angina −0.23 .32 −0.78 to 0.32
Myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation 0.08 .72 −0.47 to 0.64
Myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation 0.84b <.01 0.27 to 1.41

Weaknessc Unstable angina −0.77d <.01 −1.44 to −0.10
Myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation −0.62d .03 −1.29 to 0.06
Myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation 0.26 .37 −0.43 to 0.96

a

Confidence intervals use Bonferroni adjustment and thus are 98.33% rather than the usual 95%.

b

Denotes effect for men.

c

All values for weakness are adjusted for Canadian Cardiovascular Society class of angina.

d

Denotes effect for women.
