Correlation analysis between exercise tolerance test and echocardiographic parameters.

	METs	Exercise duration	HRR
LVEDD (mm)	0.02	0.04	0
LVESD (mm)	0.02	0.03	-0.03
IVS (mm)	-0.05	-0.08	-0.11
PW (mm)	0.02	-0.02	-0.16
LVEF (%)	-0.05	-0.02	0.04
E (cm/sec)	-0.1	-0.04	0.09
A (cm/sec)	-0.17	-0.27	-0.06
E/A	0.05	0.18	0.12

Values are Pearson correlation coefficients.
METs: metabolic equivalent tasks; HRR: heart rate recovery; LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic diameter; IVS: interventricular septum thickness; PW: posterior wall thickness; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; E: peak early diastolic transmitral flow; A: peak late diastolic transmitral flow; E/A: the ratio of E to A.
<0.05 by Pearson correlation analysis.
