Mean BP changes of subjects in functional outcome groups

	Total cohort (72)	mRS 0–2 (53)	mRS 3–6 (19)	p Value*
Mean BP at baseline (mm Hg)	99.26±17.05	99.28±17.02	99.21±17.61	0.987
Mean BP during ECP (mm Hg)	108.57±17.85	108.49±17.98	108.79±17.99	0.951
Mean BP increase during ECP from baseline (%)	9.78±8.39	9.64±8.47	10.17±8.38	0.817

*Represents p values for comparison between the two groups; independent-samples Student t test was used.

Continuous data were presented as the mean±SD.

BP, blood pressure; ECP, external counterpulsation; mRS, modified-Rankin Scale scores.
