Abnormal blood pressure response to exercise and ventricular arrhythmias: a suspicious association in athletes
A not small group of elite athletes (8%) presented an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise and exhibited higher cardiovascular risk profile compared to their normotensive counterparts. Moreover, athletes with ABPR showed higher prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias on effort and the combination of ABPR and ventricular arrhythmias was associated with more pronounced cardiac remodelling.
