Implication
Stage 2 exercise BP >180/90 mm Hg may flag higher CVD death risk in nonhypertensives; leaves open independent value beyond resting BP.
Structured PICO
Does elevated exercise blood pressure predict future cardiovascular death in asymptomatic individuals?
P
Population
Asymptomatic individuals (including nonhypertensive individuals)
I
Intervention
Elevated exercise blood pressure (specifically Bruce stage 2 BP >180/90 mm Hg)
C
Comparator
Normal exercise blood pressure / resting blood pressure
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular (CVD) deathhard clinical
A Bruce stage 2 exercise blood pressure >180/90 mm Hg can identify asymptomatic, nonhypertensive individuals who are at an increased risk for future cardiovascular death.
