High severity group: Peak VO2 ≤ 18.3 ml/kg/min; CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
a Values are expressed as “cells/106 enucleated cells” in median (25th-75th percentiles).
Significant difference in the acute mobilization of endothelial cellular populations after a symptom-limited maximal CPET (* p < 0.05; # p < 0.001). CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise test.
