THE PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF THE COLD PRESSOR TEST AND THE BASAL BLOOD PRESSURE BASED ON AN EIGHTEEN YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY,

Abstract

The cold pressor test has been evaluated in a prospective study of young normal individuals followed over an eighteen-year period. The cold pressor response did not correlate with subse quent blood pressure, with interval blood pres sure increment, or the development of hyperten sion. An important relationship was found, how ever, between basal blood pressure recorded prior to the test and blood pressures recorded eighteen years later. (Author)
