Comparison of radiotelemetry of blood pressure and standard exercise tests.

Abstract

The response of blood pressure, heart rate and systolic rate-pressure-product was investigated in healthy subjects during normal everyday and sports activities. In patients with coronary heart diseases the validity of different types of exercise tests was investigated during cross-country walking. The results are described in detail, leading to a number of clinically useful conclusions, e.g., that the body position and type of muscle work play an important role in the hemodynamic response, both in healthy persons and coronary patients.
