    AbstractHypertension is a fatal but preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and an important cause of death from cardiovascular disease. Exercise training has a definite clinical effect on blood pressure control. However, inappropriate exercise is ineffective and may also cause disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible factors influencing blood pressure level in an exercise treadmill test and its relationship with accompanying clinical diseases. Five hundred sixty-four patients who underwent exercise treadmill test were selected and divided into the abnormal exercise blood pressure group (n = 156, age 60.46 ± 9.2 years) and normal exercise blood pressure group (n = 408, age 56.57 ± 8.8 years) according to whether the peak exercise systolic blood pressure was more than or equal to 180 mm Hg. General clinical data and associated clinical diseases were collected from both groups. The prevalence of hypertension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease in the abnormal exercise blood pressure group was significantly higher than that in the normal exercise blood pressure group (all P < .05). At the same time, the smoking rate and glycohemoglobin level of the patients with abnormal exercise blood pressure were significantly increased (all P < .05), but there was no statistically significant difference in age, sex, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and other indicators between the 2 groups (all P > .05). Patients with abnormal exercise blood pressure response have a higher prevalence of hypertension and coronary heart disease. Exercise blood pressure level may be an important factor affecting patients' cardiovascular prognosis.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
