[Blood pressure and heart rate behavior of ergometrically stressed patients with and without beta receptor blocker]

Abstract

It is referred to the importance of bicycle-ergometric examinations for a better recognition of the hypertension with limiting value and the labile hypertension. According to time of day and the physical and psychic condition very different blood pressure values can be measured. Therefore, from this point of view blood pressure values may be compared only on the same exterior and interior conditions. The interior conditions are only little to be influenced. A standardized test method, as it is the bicycle ergometry, therefore under the same exterior conditions guarantees comparable and above all reproducible blood pressure values. Also the success of therapy under antihypertensive drugs and thus the prognosis can exactly be classified after these examinations. Furthermore it could be shown that the behaviour of the blood pressure under ergometric load with and without beta-receptor blocker is approximately the same.
