Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the role of various ß-blockers in managing exercise-induced blood pressure escalations, referred to as exaggerated blood pressure response (eBPR). Despite the importance of this phenomenon, there is limited data on the efficacy of ß-blockers in controlling eBPR.
Method: Our retrospective cohort for this study comprised 2,803 individuals who underwent treadmill tests from January 2016 to February 2018.
Article Synopsis
- * The research involved 245 patients with non-valvular AF and 50 control subjects, examining genetic variants and their association with AF and long-term recurrence after catheter ablation.
- * Results showed that four SNPs in the PITX2 gene were significantly linked to AF, and one SNP in CAV1, along with early recurrence of AF, could predict long-term recurrence after the catheter procedure.
Purpose: An elevation in blood pressure (BP) during exercise is the normal physiological response, however an abnormally exaggerated rise in BP, in terms of hypertensive response to exercise (HRE), is seen as a prognostic factor for end-organ damage and mortality. HRE is more common in hypertensive (HT) patients and data are lacking on the effect of antihypertensive medication on HRE. In this study, we evaluated patients who underwent treadmill exercise testing (TET) to reveal the effect of antihypertensive medication on HRE.
