Factors associated with parasympathetic activation following exercise in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study
Background Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased risk for cardiovascular
disease (CVD) with poor parasympathetic function being implicated as an underlying factor.
Factors related to parasympathetic function, commonly assessed by heart rate recovery
(HRR) following maximal exercise, are currently not known in RA. We aimed to explore the
association between HRR with CVD risk factors, inflammatory markers, and wellbeing in
patients with RA. Methods Ninety-six RA patients (54.4±12.6 years, 68% women) completed …

Response: Apologies for this oversight, as well as excluding patients who had any
comorbidity incompatible with exercise as per American College of Sports Medicine
guidelines, we also excluded patients with atrial fibrillation. We have now added this for
clarification (please see page 4, Methods, Study Population)
