AB - There is some evidence to suggest that exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) may be associated with future risk of stroke in subjects without a history of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the value of an exaggerated exercise SBP response (EESBPR) for predicting stroke in patients referred for stress testing for clinical reasons has not been investigated. We evaluated a community-based sample of 10,047 patients with known or suspected CAD who underwent treadmill exercise echocardiography. An EESBPR was defined as a peak exercise SBP of >220mmHg. The ratio of the increase in SBP during exercise to exercise workload (ΔSBPeEW) was also estimated. The endpoints were stroke of any type, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Median follow-up was 3.5years.
