Marty D. Spranger (2020) conducted an editorial in Cardiovascular disease. Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise vs. Exercise without BFR was evaluated. Blood flow restriction exercise can exacerbate metaboreflex activation and abnormally increase hemodynamic responses, warranting significant caution when prescribed to patients with cardiovascular disease.
