Exercise and Monitoring of Central Aortic Pressure
Non-Invasive Assessment of Central Aortic Pressure
Exercise is universally recommended in healthy individuals, people with cardiovascular disease risk factors, and for those who have known cardiovascular disease. Improving exercise endurance has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk factors (weight, blood glucose), improve cardiovascular health, improve cognitive function, and reduce mortality.1-4 However, the performance of exercise (i.e., during the period of exercise) can have adverse health consequences related to the stress placed on the cardiovascular system. Standard vital signs monitoring alone (i.e., heart rate, brachial BP) may not adequately indicate and track the direct physiologic benefits as well as adverse effects associated with exercise training both acutely and over the long-term.
