title: [Long-term behavior of exercise-induced hypertension in patients with myocardial infarction].
abstract: Blood pressure and clinical course in 83 heart infarction patients with exercise hypertension were compared after 7 years with a control group of infarction patients without exercise hypertension after 8 years. 62% of the exercise hypertension patients and 23% of the control group developed manifest hypertension. 11% of the exercise hypertension patients and 56% of the control group had normal blood pressure values. The death rate after 7 years for the exercise hypertension group and 8 years for the control group was relatively equal at 12% and 17%, respectively. The exercise hypertension patients who died demonstrated the highest blood pressure values. The clinical course deteriorated in patients who developed manifest hypertension from exercise hypertension, especially in the case of patients with angina pectoris symptoms. The results of the study suggest prognostic significance for blood pressure behavior during exercise in heart infarction patients.
