Hypertension, Cardiovascular events can be predicted by BP monitoring during stress test
Advertisement
Treadmill exercise testing is the most common noninvasive test to assess patients with suspected or known cardiovascular disease. Measurement of blood pressure (BP) during exercise stress is cumbersome due to patient motion and hemodynamic changes during exercise. A recent study suggests that BP measurements during rest, exercise and recovery phases of exercise stress testing (EST) provides information on the long-term risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular events. The study findings were published online in the Journal of Hypertension in August 2021.
