Cardiovascular measurements
cardiac injury
Cardiac markers were elevated at baseline compared to reference ranges, both within the whole population and individual groups. NT-proBNP and Troponin T were unchanged in both groups throughout the study (Table NT-proBNP concentrations throughout the trial.Troponin T concentration – box plot. Legend: The concentrations of troponin T throughout the study in terms of whole cohort and individual groups are presented. No statistically significant trend was witnessed, alongside no differential effect. No indication of cardiac injury was noted.Pulse wave velocity. Legend: Line graph summarizing the results of the pulse wave velocity measurements within the study. A numerical improvement was noted in terms of pulse wave velocity in the whole cohort and individual groups, which did not reach statistical significance. No differential effect was noted.Augmentation index. Legend: Line graph summarizing the results of the augmentation index measurements within the study. No differential effect was noted.
