Left ventricular filling pressures (E/e') at rest and stress across groups stratified by HR recovery and diastolic function. Higher resting and stress filling pressures were seen in groups with abnormal HR recovery and/or abnormal diastolic function compared to patients in the group with normal indices for both. E/e' remained the same or decreased with exercise, except in those with diastolic dysfunction and abnormal HR recovery in which case it increased with exercise. Between group comparisons to the group with normal HR recovery and normal diastolic function (referent) for E/e'at rest and E/e' at stress were significant at p≤0.001. Abbreviations: HR = heart rate.
