Systolic blood pressure response during exercise testing in symptomatic severe aortic stenosis by Kristofer Hedman, Anna Carlén, Eva Nylander, Éva Tamás, Carl Bellander, Henric Nilsson

“…The SBP response was categorised according to the last measurements of SBP during exercise, in relation to workload (the SBP/watt-slope) as ‘normal’ (>0.25 mm Hg/watt), ‘flat’ (0–0.25 mm Hg/watt) or ‘drop’ (<0 mm Hg/watt).Results 45 patients (28 male, 66±9 years, left ventricular ejection fraction 59%±5%, aortic jet velocity 4.6±0.5 m/s) were included, with pairwise comparison available in 31 cases. …”
