Why the study?
Does an exaggerated exercise systolic blood pressure response associate with increased left ventricular mass and hypertrophy in healthy, normotensive individuals?
Does an exaggerated exercise systolic blood pressure response associate with increased left ventricular mass and hypertrophy in healthy, normotensive individuals?
The apparent association between an exaggerated exercise systolic blood pressure response and left ventricular hypertrophy is largely confounded by age, resting blood pressure, and body mass index, questioning its independent biologic significance.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Exaggerated exercise BP response shows no independent link to LVH after adjustment; leaves open its prognostic value beyond resting BP and BMI in normotensives.
