Fig. 3. AD ACL energy scores, the mean symptom severity ratings, and blood pressure responses during the speech task. In the patients with less severe CFS, low SBP and DBP responses were predicted, respectively, by lower energy scores (R = .57, p < .03) and greater mean symptom severity ratings (R = -.76, p < .001). None of these relationships were significant in the severe CFS group (p > .13).
