Patterns of systolic blood pressure response at the end of exercise and mortality and morbidity in patients referred for exercise testing
Subjects with a slow SBP increase at the end of exercise tended to have the lowest mortality risk, although no SBP response pattern predicted all-cause mortality independently. CVD risk was strongly increased in patients with a drop in SBP and tended to be increased (non-significantly) also in patients with a plateau in SBP at the end of exercise, in comparison with increasing SBP.
