Key result
An exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise is an early sign of cardiovascular disease and a predictor of future hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and cardiac events.

Is an exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise a marker of vascular endothelial function and a predictor of future cardiovascular disease?
An exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise may serve as an early marker of cardiovascular disease, predicting future hypertension, LVH, and cardiac events.
Nikolaos Tzemos (2002) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Exaggerated blood pressure response (ExBPR) during exercise was evaluated. An exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise is an early sign of cardiovascular disease and a predictor of future hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and cardiac events.
