Data are mean ± SD or number (%).

ARB, angiotensin-receptor blocker; OR, odds ratio; THR, target heart rate.

*The t test or χ2 test was used to assess differences between the SMI group and non–SMI group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the parameters significantly associated with myocardial ischemia using heart rate recovery, max METs, resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, rate pressure product, HbA1c, use of sulfonamides, and history of cardiovascular disease.
