Percent of patients meeting the NCET ATP III cholesterol guidelines at baseline and after cardiac rehabilitation completion in A) diabetic patients (n = 731) and B) non-diabetic patients (n = 731).
*Significant improvement in the percentage of patients meeting lipid guidelines from baseline to 12-week (post-CR) observed in diabetic and nondiabetic groups, respectively, all P ≤ .0001, by paired sample t-test
Significant difference between percentages of diabetic versus non-diabetic patients meeting lipid guidelines after CR completion, all P ≤ .024, by independent t-test.
