Objectives: This study tested whether the systolic and diastolic blood pressures measured simultaneously by direct and indirect methods provide similar readings for blood pressure response during symptom-limited exercise on a treadmill and bicycle, and if it can be used to monitor blood pressure in hypertensive patients treated with β- blockers. Method: Comparisons were made with simultaneously determined intra-arterial catheter and auscultation measurements on a treadmill and bicycle. Eight hypertensive patients (41.9 ± 2.0 years) active participants in supervised aerobic programs (12.1 ± 1.2 METs work capacity) for at least 12 months were recruited to the study. Results: At rest, indirect systolic pressure was highly correlated with the direct method.. View More»
