Key result
Essential hypertension did not alter muscle sympathetic activity or venous plasma noradrenaline responses to isometric handgrip exercise compared to normotensive subjects.

Sympathetic responses to handgrip appear preserved in untreated hypertension; leaves open effects in treated patients or other exercise modalities.

Does muscle sympathetic activity and noradrenaline response to isometric handgrip differ between normotensive and untreated hypertensive subjects?
This physiological study demonstrates that muscle sympathetic activity and noradrenaline responses to static exercise are similar in normotensive and untreated hypertensive subjects.
Wallin et al. (1987) conducted an observational in Essential hypertension (n=31). Essential hypertension vs. Normotensive subjects was evaluated on Muscle sympathetic activity (MSA) and venous plasma noradrenaline (NA) concentrations. Essential hypertension did not alter muscle sympathetic activity or venous plasma noradrenaline responses to isometric handgrip exercise compared to normotensive subjects.
