Chi-squared analysis results for heart disease distribution among CAM users and non-CAM users
CAM Usage, n (%; SE [%]) | |||
---|---|---|---|
Type of heart disease | Yes (n = 185) | No (n = 144) | P value for the chi-squared test |
Ischaemic heart disease | 104 (62.7; 3.56) | 82 (62.1; 4.04) | 0.925 |
Cardiomyopathy | 12 (7.2; 1.90) | 10 (7.6; 2.01) | 0.91 |
Cardiac arrhythmia | 6 (3.6; 1.37) | 4 (3.0; 1.42) | 0.779 |
Valvular heart disease | 13 (7.8; 1.97) | 13 (9.8; 2.48) | 0.544 |
Other | 31 (18.7; 2.87) | 23 (17.4; 3.16) | 0.88 |
CAM = complementary and alternative medicine; SE = standard error.
