Additional file 3 of Association of complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hemodynamics and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a case–control study in individuals aged 65–80 years

Additional file 3: Exercise capacity and ventilatory equivalent versus carbon dioxide output slope according to left ventricular ejection fraction. Analysis of covariance was adjusted for the presence or absence of sarcopenia as well as hemoglobin level. * P <0.05 vs 50.0-55.0 group, † P <0.05 vs 55.1-60.0 group, ‡ P <0.05 vs 65.1-70.0 group, § P <0.05 vs >70.1 group. Abbreviations: peakVO2, peak oxygen uptake; VE vs VCO2 slope, Ventilatory equivalent versus carbon dioxide output slope.
