Blood pressure response to exercise testing

Although blood pressure is usually measured during and in recovery from a stress test, there are no clearly established figures of an abnormal response. Different methods and population studies give different definitions. This conflicting data had provoked an inadequate appreciation of clinical significance, and the conduct to follow. This article revises work relevant to blood pressure response in stress tests, and based on evidence, proposes a series of values and conducts of diagnostic and prognostic significance. © 2009 Consell Catala de l’Esport.
