Why the study?
Is an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased carotid IMT in patients with untreated stage I essential hypertension?
Is an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased carotid IMT in patients with untreated stage I essential hypertension?
An exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise in untreated stage I hypertension is associated with markers of vascular damage, suggesting it is a marker of increased cardiovascular risk rather than a benign finding.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Suggests exercise BP response marks vascular damage in stage I hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Hypertensive response to exercise in patients with untreated stage I essential hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased carotid IMT. It seems that this phenomenon is not a benign one but rather a dangerous alarm.
