Key result
Prehypertension was significantly associated with delayed heart rate recovery, with stage II and stage I prehypertension increasing the odds of being in the lowest HRR quartile (OR 3.80 and OR 3.01, respectively).
Why the study?
Is delayed heart rate recovery associated with prehypertension in asymptomatic individuals undergoing exercise stress testing?
Cross-Sectional (n=683)
Is delayed heart rate recovery associated with prehypertension in asymptomatic individuals undergoing exercise stress testing?
Odds Ratio: 3.8 (95% CI 1.06–13.56)
Delayed heart rate recovery during exercise stress testing is independently associated with early and late stages of prehypertension in asymptomatic individuals.

Should not yet change prehypertension management; hypothesis-generating for autonomic markers in progression studies.
Aneni et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Prehypertension (n=683). Prehypertension vs. Normal blood pressure was evaluated on Lowest quartile of heart rate recovery (HRR) (OR 3.80, 95% CI 1.06-13.56). Prehypertension was significantly associated with delayed heart rate recovery, with stage II and stage I prehypertension increasing the odds of being in the lowest HRR quartile (OR 3.80 and OR 3.01, respectively).
