Key result
In patients with a hypertensive response to exercise, mitral annular peak systolic velocity was linearly correlated with early diastolic velocity (r=0.48, p<0.05).
Does not support practice change; hypothesis-generating for systolic-diastolic coupling in exercise hypertension.

Takamura et al. (2008) conducted a letter in Hypertensive response to exercise. Hypertensive response to exercise was evaluated on Correlation between mitral annular peak systolic velocity (S') and early diastolic velocity (E') (r=0.48, p=<0.05). In patients with a hypertensive response to exercise, mitral annular peak systolic velocity was linearly correlated with early diastolic velocity (r=0.48, p<0.05).
