High Aerobic Capacity Does Not Attenuate Aortic Stiffness in Hypertensive Subjects

摘要

BackgroundIt is unknown whether increased physical fitness reduces aortic stiffness in hypertensive individuals. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine, in a cohort of community-dwelling subjects with no history of cardiac events, differences in the impact of aerobic capacity on aortic stiffness between normotensive and hypertensive subjects.
