Hemodynamics and a/b for Study B; effects of 7 day use of JD on blood pressure and DN position group
| BL | JD7 | REC 48 | REC 72 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart rate (BPM/) | 64 (1.8) | 64 (2) | 64 (1.8) | 63 (1.8) |
| BPs (mmHg) | 147 (3.3) | 132 (3.3)a | 134 (2.7)a | 133 (3.1)a |
| BPd (mmHg) | 94 (3.3) | 85 (2.7)a | 86 (2.7)a | 85 (2.4)a |
| a/b | 2.3 (0.7) | 4.0 (1.3)a | 3.8 (1.3)a | 3.6 (1.3)a |
| Percent change baseline (%) | ||||
| BPs | 0 | −10.3 (0.9)a | −8.6 (0.6)a | −9.5 (0.9)a |
| BPd | 0 | −9.2 (1.4)a | −8.5 (1.6)a | −9.7 (1.7)a |
| a/b | 0 | 82.4 (11.1)a | 73.9 (11.7)a | 63.2 (12.5)a |
Notes: In Study B, Hemodynamic variables; heart rate (BPM), blood pressure systolic and diastolic (BPs, BPd) and a/b. At baseline (BL) and after 7 days of daily use of JD (at least 3 times per day for 30 min, JD7), and 48 and 72 h after discontinuation of JD (REC48, REC72) (Figure S3). Statistical comparison was performed between BL and JD7, REC 48, and REC 72. Data expressed as mean and standard error of the mean (±SEM). Compared to BL there was a statistically significant decrease in both absolute and percent change in both BPs, BPd and a significant increase in a / b (a p < 0.001 BL vs. JD7, REC 48, REC 72).
