Clustering of coronary risk factors with increasing blood pressure at rest and during exercise

Journal of Hypertension

Abstract

The metabolic cardiovascular syndrome is the label given to the clustering of unfavourable levels of a number of coronary risk factors in subjects with high resting blood pressures. We found recently that exercise blood pressure had a strong independent prognostic value. To search for possible similar associations between exercise blood pressure levels and coronary risk factors by studying conventional and recently acknowledged coronary risk factors. The study population comprised 1999 healthy men aged 40-59 years. Age-adjusted coronary risk factor levels and their relation to resting and exercise blood pressures were studied. Resting blood pressure was measured after subjects had rested supine for 5 min. The exercise blood pressure used was the systolic blood pressure measured with the subject sitting on a bicycle ergometer at the end of a work load of 600 kpm/min (100 W) for 6 min. Besides corroborating the relation between the metabolic syndrome and resting blood pressure levels, we observed similar or even stronger associations between levels of various coronary risk factors and exercise blood pressure. We found rather strong, direct associations between exercise blood pressure and total cholesterol level, fasting triglycer...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
