Table 1 Statistical findings regarding the comparison of hemodynamic parameters at baseline (CPT-0) and CPT-1.

	Baseline (CPT-0)	CPT-1	P values
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	120.1±10.93	130.4±13.31	^*
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	74.05±6.673 (59–89)	79.25±7.3680 (62–96)	^**
Pulse rate (beat/min)	77.35±6.77	83.37±8.08	^*
Velocity (cm/sec)	22.15±10.18	26.51±12.46	^*
Diameter (mm)	6.42±1.19	6.93±1.36	^*
Flow rate (ml/min)	127.8±70.78113.5 (32.3–425)	188.4±91.2173.8 (67.8–483.1)	^**
^* Paired test with mean±standard deviation (SD); ^** Wilcoxon signed rank test with median (min-max). CPT – cold pressor test; CPT-1 – 1-minute measurement of the CPT.
