Combination of low blood pressure response, low exercise capacity and slow heart rate recovery during an exercise test significantly increases mortality risk.

Conclusion: The combination of reduced SBP response, low exercise capacity, and reduced HRR in an exercise test is associated with very high mortality and can be used in risk stratification. Key messages The combination of low blood pressure response, low exercise capacity and slow heart rate recovery in an exercise test is able to identify a group of patients in a very high mortality risk. These parameters are easily derived from an exercise test. All parameters are commonly available in clinical practice. PMID: 31638839 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
