Key result
Impaired glucose metabolism is linked to exaggerated exercise blood pressure response in normotensive nondiabetic patients.
Why the study?
Are impaired glucose metabolism measures associated with an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise testing in normotensive nondiabetic patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=142)
Are impaired glucose metabolism measures associated with an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise testing in normotensive nondiabetic patients?
p-value: p=<.05
Impaired glucose metabolism is an independent determinant of exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise in normotensive nondiabetic patients, potentially indicating increased cardiovascular risk.

Impaired glucose metabolism was associated with EXBPR; hypothesis-generating for cardiometabolic risk but requires prospective validation before practice change.
Papavasileiou et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Normotensive nondiabetic patients (n=142). Impaired glucose metabolism vs. Normal glucose metabolism was evaluated on Exaggerated blood pressure response (EXBPR) to exercise testing (p=<.05). Impaired glucose metabolism measures were significant independent determinants of an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise testing in normotensive nondiabetic patients (P<0.05).
