Figure 2. Adjusted HRs of cardiovascular mortality for recovery high-grade PVCs.

Figure 2.

Results are shown by clinical subgroups (sex, hypertension, diabetes, LDL category). HRs were adjusted for both clinical (age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, body mass index, family history of premature coronary artery disease) and exercise test variables (exercise duration (in minutes), heart rate recovery (in beats per minute), achieving target heart rate, ST depression ≥ 1mm). As shown by p-interactions > 0.05, there were no significant differences between subgroups.

HRs: Hazard Ratios

PVCs: Premature ventricular contractions

Note: p-interaction with high-grade PVCs during recovery was p=0.261 for sex, p=0.220 for diabetic status, p=0.147 for hypertensive status, p=0.801 for LDL category.
