Delayed recovery of postexercise blood pressure in patients with chronic heart failure.
Thirty-four patients with idiopathic dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing to evaluate the significance of postexercise blood pressure (BP) response. The postexercise BP response was useful in assessing the impaired exercise capacity and increased sympathetic activity in patients with heart failure.
