Why the study?

Does laboratory stress testing accurately reflect real-life ambulatory cardiovascular reactivity in normotensive adults?

Population

36 normotensive adults

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

1 month

Implication

Laboratory stress testing should not yet supplant ambulatory monitoring; leaves open its validity as a surrogate for real-world BP reactivity.

Structured PICO

Does laboratory stress testing accurately reflect real-life ambulatory cardiovascular reactivity in normotensive adults?

Population

36 normotensive adults

Intervention

Laboratory stress testing (mental arithmetic, short-term memory, isometric handgrip, cold pressor tests) and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring on two work days separated by a month

Outcome

Correlation between laboratory and ambulatory measures of cardiovascular reactivitysurrogate

Laboratory stress testing explains only a small portion of real-life ambulatory blood pressure reactivity, limiting its utility as a surrogate for natural environmental stress responses.
