Text: At 12 months follow-up there was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (AVJAP : 54 + / - 17 % ; MED : 61 + / - 13 % [p = ns]) or exercise duration on treadmill testing (AVJAP : 4. 1 + / - 2 min ; MED : 4. 6 + / - 2 min [p = ns]) ; however, the peak ventricular rate was lower in the AVJAP group during exercise (112 + / - 17 beats/min vs. 153 + / - 36 beats/min, p < 0. 05) and activities of daily life (117 + / - 16 beats/min vs. 152 + / - 37 beats/min, p < 0. 05).
