May support exercise BP response for risk stratification in stable CAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation beyond exercise capacity.
Does a robust blood pressure and heart rate response during exercise predict lower risk of cardiovascular events in ambulatory adults with stable coronary artery disease?
A robust blood pressure and heart rate increase during exercise stress testing predicts a lower risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease, largely explained by greater exercise capacity.
