Table 2. Blood and PP changes based on LVH and TACSs.
| Variables | LVH | TACS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No | Yes | p value | Low | High | p value | |
| Resting SBP | 124±16 | 128±17 | 0.003 | 123±15 | 127±17 | 0.006 |
| Peak SBP | 175±25 | 180±27 | 0.020 | 173±25 | 180±27 | 0.001 |
| ΔSBP | 51±22 | 52±24 | 0.631 | 50±23 | 54±23 | 0.045 |
| Resting PP | 48±14 | 51±15 | 0.022 | 47±13 | 51±15 | 0.003 |
| Peak PP | 99±25 | 101±28 | 0.283 | 96±24 | 103±27 | 0.001 |
| ΔPP | 52±22 | 51±24 | 0.720 | 49±22 | 54±24 | 0.031 |
Values are presented as mean±standard deviation.
LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; PP = pulse pressure; SBP = systolic blood pressure; TACS = thoracic aorta calcium score; ΔPP = difference in pulse pressure between rest and peak exercise; ΔSBP = difference between systolic blood pressure at rest and peak exercise.
