[Reproductibility of catecholamine and plasma renin activity values during exercise testing in normal subjects].
The authors studied the reproductibility of the measures of the haemodynamic (HR-SAP-DAP) and hormonal (PRA-plasma catecholamine) parameters at rest and during stress. 11 normotensive male subjects, age 20-26 years, have release 2 stress tests on ergometric bicycle spaced from 8 to 180 days (mean 54.2 days). The measure of haemodynamic parameters is reproducible during stress. The PRA measures is reproducible at stress instead of individual variations of natriuresis between 3-10 g. The measure of plasma norepinephrine levels is reproducible for strict rest and during stress. This express an identical participation of the sympathetic system for the same physical work load. This results express the interest of stress tests for the definition of a normal blood pressure and hormonal profile.
