Second baseline was taken 10 minutes after completion of the INO hemodynamic assessment; P value is a comparison to first baseline.

P compared with second baseline

P < .01; and

§

§P < .05; P values are derived from a repeated measures mixed model including step/intervention as the effect of interest and the first baseline value as a covariate.
