Exercise-induced changes in hs-cTnT concentrations and physiological changes during exercise. No differences in changes in hs-cTnT concentrations were observed over time between the COVID-19 and control group (P = 0.73), but average and peak hs-cTnT concentrations were significantly lower in the COVID-19 vs. control group (P = 0.045) (A). Changes in individual hs-cTnT concentrations for the COVID-19 group (in red, B) and the control group (in blue, C) over time, with the group median in black. Time-dependent changes in blood pressure (D), heart rate (E), and percentage of maximal heart rate (F) for the COVID-19 group (in red) and control group (in blue). % of HRmax, percentage of expected maximal heart rate; HR, heart rate; hs-cTnT, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T; SBP/DBP, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, respectively; URL, 99% upper reference limit of 14.0 ng/L. hs-cTnT concentrations are presented at baseline (B0), after 30 min of warm up exercise (E30), and at t = 0, t = 30, t = 60, t = 120, and t = 180 min after exercise cessation (P0, P30, P60, P120, and P180, respectively). Physiological data are presented at screening (Scr), at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% completion of the exercise test, and at t = 2, t = 30, t = 60, t = 120, and t = 180 min after exercise cessation.
