Abstract
Clinically, when a difference of ≥10 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (SBP) between arms exists, it is identified as inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference (ISBPD). At rest, ISBPD is linked with hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and increased premature mortality. It is well known that exercise reveals underlying cardiovascular pathologies absent at rest. However, there have been no investigations to examine the effect of exercise on ISBPD.
