Key result
In patients with a hypertensive response to exercise, mitral annular peak systolic velocity (S') was linearly correlated with early diastolic velocity (E') (r=0.48, p<0.05).
No immediate clinical implications for exercise testing; leaves open whether systolic-diastolic coupling extends mechanistic insights in hypertension.

Kranidis et al. (2008) conducted a letter in Hypertensive response to exercise. Hypertensive response to exercise vs. Normal 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 (S') was linearly correlated with early diastolic velocity (E') (r=0.48, p<0.05).
