Table 4 Unadjusted reactive hyperemia index (RHI), natural logarithm of the RHI (LnRHI), augmentation index (AI), and augmentation index at 75 bpm (AI@75 bpm) in patients with or without coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Patients were separated into groups who did and did not exercise prior to vascular assessment. Mean ± SD
