Is an exaggerated systolic blood pressure response to exercise associated with carotid atherosclerosis in apparently healthy men?

An exaggerated systolic blood pressure response to exercise may serve as an important marker for evaluating target-organ damage such as carotid atherosclerosis in healthy men.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Exaggerated exercise SBP response may flag carotid atherosclerosis; leaves open prognostic value and causal links in prospective studies.
These results suggest that an exaggerated SBP response to exercise is strongly associated with carotid atherosclerosis, independent of established risk factors in healthy men. It may be an important factor in evaluating hypertension related to target-organ damage.
