Table 1.

Baseline characteristics of all participants and the final 1202 following exclusions. All 1708 participants who undertook CPET testing are included in the first 5 columns, whilst only those included in the final analysis (1202) following exclusions (as described in the text) are shown in the latter columns. Subjects are divided into 10 year age categories and by gender, with information shown on body mass index (BMI), presence of hypertension (HTN), beta-blocker use (percentage using), current smokers (final cohort only) and peak VO2.
