[Reproducibility of measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate during exercise test: its significance and application].
The authors report their findings from a study of the reproductibility of measurements of blood pressure and heart rate both at rest and during exercise (work on a bicycle ergometer) in 19 patients who were tested on two occasions with a mean interval of 9.8 days. A study of the correlations, of variability, and of the findings on applying Student's "t" test, have led us to the conclusion that these parameters are more reproduceable on exercise than at rest, and become increasingly reproduceable as exercise increases. These conclusions support the use of an induced hypertension test under exercise.
