Step test in hypertension [PDF]

QJM, 2000
The physiological basis of essential hypertension is a continuing rise in the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) over time, a process which does not appear to be halted by drug treatment that normalizes diastolic blood pressure (BP).1 Since SVR is a major determinant of BP in the absence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, BP rises in ...

Two-Minute Step Test as a Complement to Six-Minute Walk Test in Subjects With Treated Coronary Artery Disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The 2-Minute Step Test (2MST) has been presented as an alternative to the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) based on the association between the two tests in older adults; however, some authors propose that it should not be a substitute but rather a complement ...
