A comparative study of blood pressure responses after sustained isometric hand grip exercise test in normotensive and hypertensive Indian adults

A blood pressure response to physical stress depends on various factors such as gender, body mass index, and resting blood pressure. Results: Rise of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was observed immediately after isometric exercise in normotensive and hypertensive su...

Summary:A blood pressure response to physical stress depends on various factors such as gender, body mass index, and resting blood pressure. Results: Rise of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was observed immediately after isometric exercise in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. A blood pressure response to physical stress depends on various factors such as gender, body mass, baseline blood pressure, diet, and physical activity. Isometric handgrip exercise test is performed to check blood pressure reactivity by static contraction of a small muscle mass with significant changed in blood pressure with relatively small increase in HR and the cardiac output by producing a pressure load on the heart.
