RESULTS
The mean minute ventilation at rest (standing position) in BTPS l/min in N
and in CMS was 9.54 ±1.85 l/min and 8.73 ±2.33 l/min, respectively.
Although the difference did not assume statistical significance, ventilation clearly tended to be lower in the CMS patients,
as previously reported. The exercise results are shown in Fig 1.
