Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how exercise affects cardiovascular health, focusing on the relationship between heart responses during a treadmill test and muscle vasodilation in people without heart disease.
- It involved 796 asymptomatic participants, measuring heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle blood flow during exercise.
- Results showed that better muscle blood flow during exercise was linked to improved heart rate recovery and lower diastolic blood pressure, but exercise capacity did not correlate with muscle vasodilation.
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of systemic inflammatory activity and may be modulated by physical fitness. Treadmill exercise testing is used to evaluate cardiovascular health through different variables including exercise capacity, heart rate and blood pressure responses. It was hypothesized that CRP levels are associated with these variables in men and women without overt heart disease.
