Demographic data, GLS, and fitness test scores.
| Subjects | Age | Height (m) | Weight (kg) | GLS (%) | VO2 Peak (ml/kg/min) | Time On Treadmill (sec) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n = 30 | 63.7 (2.8) | 1.68 (0.11) | 70.3 (12.1) | 16.0 (3.3) | 32.7 (9.0) | 1113.5 (190.8) |
| Female n = 21 | 63.9 (2.8) | 1.63 (0.07) | 65.8 (9.39) | 15.1 (2.7) | 29.2 (6.4) | 1052.8 (178.4) |
| Male n =9 | 63.2 (3.0) | 1.80*** (0.08) | 80.9* (11.4) | 18.1 (3.8) | 40.7*** (9.1) | 1255.0*** (142.0) |
Abbreviations: m = meters; kg = kilograms; ml = milliliters; min = minute; s = seconds. GLS values were converted (multiplied by −1) such that higher scores reflect superior myocardial shortening mechanics. Note: values are means and values in parentheses are S.D.
