Exercise-Induced Hypertension in Healthy Individuals and Athletes: Is it an Alarming Sign?

Exercise-induced hypertension (EIH) is defined as elevated blood pressure (BP) > 190mm Hg for females and > 210 mmHg for males during exercise. EIH is prevalent among athletes and healthy individuals with no cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. While previous data corroborates exercise in reducin...

description Exercise-induced hypertension (EIH) is defined as elevated blood pressure (BP) > 190mm Hg for females and > 210 mmHg for males during exercise. EIH is prevalent among athletes and healthy individuals with no cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. While previous data corroborates exercise in reducing hypertension and cardiovascular risk, the development of EIH and its attendant cardiovascular risk necessitates a review of the pathophysiological mechanisms resulting in EIH. To date, these mechanisms causing EIH are not fully understood, nor are there any established guidelines on the management of EIH. In this article, we discuss in detail the pathophysiological mechanisms, the prognostic value, clinical implications, possible treatment, and future directions in managing EIH.
