Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A hypertensive response to exercise is independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but clinical interpretation may be confounded by aerobic capacity (fitness). The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between exercise blood pressure (BP) relative to fitness and CVD events. METHODS: Clinical exercise test records were analysed from 12 743 people (aged 53 ± 13 years, 60% male) who completed a standard exercise stress test (Bruce treadmill protocol, stages 1-4) at six Australian hospitals. Records were linked to administrative datasets (hospital
