Is impaired baroreflex sensitivity or carotid stiffness associated with exaggerated exercise blood pressure in a community-based cohort?
Impaired baroreflex sensitivity is independently associated with exaggerated exercise blood pressure, suggesting a neural pathway for abnormal exercise BP.
Impaired BRS, but not carotid stiffness, is independently associated with exaggerated exercise BP even among those with well controlled resting BP. This indicates a potential pathway from depressed neural baroreflex function to abnormal exercise BP and clinical outcomes.
