Resting cardiovascular and hemodynamic parameters in African Americans (AAs) and European Americans (EAs).
| AAs (n = 30) | EAs (n = 48) | F | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAP (mmHg) | 88.5 ± 2.1 | 83.3 ± 1.7 | 3.26 | .075 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 123.6 ± 2.6 | 121.4 ± 2.4 | 0.44 | .509 |
| DBP (mmHg) | 69.4 ± 1.9 | 64.3 ± 1.5 | 4.24 | .043 |
| CO (l/min) | 6.12 ± 0.23 | 6.09 ± 0.18 | 0.01 | .923 |
