Key result
In young elite athletes with high blood pressure during exercise, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring diagnosed arterial hypertension in 71% and masked arterial hypertension in 65%.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to assess the prevalence of arterial hypertension in athletes with high BP values during an exercise test.
Cross-Sectional (n=86)
Young elite athletes with a hypertensive response to exercise have a high prevalence of masked arterial hypertension, highlighting the clinical utility of routine ABPM in this population.
ABPM may clarify hypertension status in athletes with high exercise BP; leaves open prognostic implications in adolescents.
Aim of the study: to assess the prevalence of arterial hypertension in athletes with high BP values during an exercise test. Methods: out of 2313 athletes 14–18 (15.5 ± 1.4) years old, according to the results of VEM, 128 (6 %; 60 m) people with high blood pressure values at maximum load were identified, 86 (67 %) of them underwent ABPM. The patient were divided into 2 groups: with normal — 62 (72 %) and high office BP – 24 (28 %). Results: athletes with high office BP values had a significantly higher BMI. We did not note any significant differences in ABPM between the two groups. 71 % had arterial hypertension, 65 % had masked arterial hypertension. Conclusions: in young elite athletes with high values of BP during exercise, 71 % are diagnosed arterial hypertension according to ABPM; in 65% masked arterial hypertension has detected, which dictates the need for ABPM in this group of athletes.
