The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between systolic blood pressure during maximal treadmill test (SBP9mtt)) and flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD). Abnormal rise of SBP(mtt) is the phenomenon more frequent in hypertensive persons but it could be found in normotensive subjects too. 199 subjects referred to treadmill test were enrolled in the study. Four groups were formed: hypertensives with abnormal SBP(mtt) (group A), hypertensives with normal SBP(mtt) (group B), normotensives with abnormal SBP(mtt) (group C) and normotensives with normal SBP(mtt) (group D). Rise of SBP(mtt) above 200 mmHg was considered abnormal reaction. Simple linear regression analysis showed significant inverse relationship between SBP(mtt) and FMD (F = 20.2036, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.0956). Mean FMD index was worst in hypertensive subjects with abnormal SBP(mtt) (group A), followed by normotensives with abnormal SBP(mtt) (group C), hypertensives with normal SBP(mtt) (group B) and the best was in normotensives with normal SBP(mtt) (3.56 +/- 5.17, 4.19 +/- 5.14, 6.81 +/- 8.43 and 10.92 +/- 7.48%, respectively). In multivariate regression analysis FMD showed significant association with abnormal SBP(mtt) (p < 0.001) along with brachial artery diameter (p < 0.001), male gender (p < 0.001), but not with hypertension (p = 0.073), BMI (p = 0.137) and total cholesterol (p = 0.23) (coefficients: -0.26, -0.40, -0.27, -0.13, -0.11 and -0.07, respectively). There was a significant inverse relationship between SBP(mtt) and FMD. An impairment of FMD exists in normotensive subjects with abnormal SBP(mtt). In hypertensives with abnormal SBP(mtt) an additional impairment of FMD exists when compared to hypertensives with normal SBP(mtt). Abnormal SBP(mtt) should be taken into account in global cardiovascular risk assessment.
