Text: Although most baseline features were balanced between groups, ejection fraction (31. 4 % + / - 7. 4 % vs 24. 9 % + / - 6. 5 %, P =. 003), end-diastolic dimension (52. 1 + / - 21. 4 mm vs 62. 5 + / - 6. 2 mm, P =. 01), peak VO (2) (16. 0 + / - 2. 9 mL O (2) / kg/min vs 14. 3 + / - 2. 8 mL O (2) / kg/min, P =. 02), and anaerobic threshold (12. 3 + / - 2. 5 mL O (2) / kg/min vs 10. 6 + / - 2. 4 mL O (2) / kg/min, P =. 01) were worse in the treatment group than in the control group.
