The influence of fitness on exercise blood pressure and its association with cardiac structure in adolescence Open
Purpose Exaggerated exercise blood pressure (BP) is associated with altered cardiac structure and increased cardiovascular risk. Fitness modifies these associations, but the effect in healthy adolescents is unknown. We performed an observa…

Influence of Age on Upper Arm Cuff Blood Pressure Measurement Open
Blood pressure (BP) is a leading global risk factor. Increasing age is related to changes in cardiovascular physiology that could influence cuff BP measurement, but this has never been examined systematically and was the aim of this study.…

Masked hypertension and submaximal exercise blood pressure among adolescents from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) Open
Purpose Masked hypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular risk but is undetectable by clinic blood pressure (BP). Elevated systolic BP responses to submaximal exercise reveal the presence of masked hypertension in adults, but…

2.7 FITNESS MODIFIES THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EXERCISE BLOOD PRESSURE AND LEFT-VENTRICULAR MASS IN ADOLESCENCE Open
Objective: Exaggerated exercise blood pressure (BP) is associated with higher left-ventricular mass index (LVMI). Paradoxically, exercise BP and LVMI may be higher with greater fitness, but underlying factors are poorly understood. This st…
