Does a hypotensive blood pressure response during a single-stage exercise test predict long-term mortality and MACCE in patients with known or suspected peripheral arterial disease?
A hypotensive blood pressure response during exercise testing in patients with peripheral arterial disease is a strong predictor of long-term mortality and MACCE, which may be mitigated by statin and aspirin therapy.
