The Table Compares MI Patients with and without Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF < 45%) Regarding the Distribution of Pathological Heart Rate Turbulence Values
| EF < 45% n = 48 | EF > 45% n = 148 | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TO | −0.6 ± 3.1 | −2.5 ± 5.5 | <0.02 |
| TS | 4.6 ± 3.3 | 5.2 ± 3.8 | n.s. |
| TO > 0% | 18 (39%) | 34 (24%) | <0.05 |
| TS < 2.5 ms | 13 (28%) | 39 (27%) | n.s. |
EF: left ventricular ejection fraction; TO: turbulence onset; TS: turbulence slope; P value < 0.05 is considered as significant.
