Why the study?
Does peak oxygen uptake predict cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in patients with hypertension?
Does peak oxygen uptake predict cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in patients with hypertension?
Higher peak oxygen uptake during exercise testing is independently associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients.

May support peak VO2 for risk stratification in hypertension; extends observational fitness-outcome data to this population.
Pardaens et al. (1996) studied this question.
