Figure 3From: Oxygen kinetics during 6-minute walk tests in patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease Mean response time in the various participants’ categories. The figure shows the box plot distributions of wMRT within the following categories: healthy controls (Healthy); restrictive lung disease (Restrictive); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); congestive heart failure (CHF). The reparameterized wMRT showed significant differences between patients and healthy controls (p <0.001), the latter showing low wMRT values. Patients suffering from PAH have higher wMRT values than patients with COPD (p = 0.010), restrictive lung disease (p <0.001) and with CHF (p <0.001).Back to article page
