Seasonal variations affect exercise blood pressure, with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) higher in winter. This finding is crucial for interpreting exercise blood pressure tests accurately throughout the year.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Casual and daytime blood pressure are elevated in winter compared to summer.
  • This seasonal difference in blood pressure may contribute to increased winter cardiovascular mortality.
  • Previous research indicates seasonal variations in resting blood pressure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate seasonal variations in exercise blood pressure.
  • To determine if exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) differ between summer and winter.
  • To assess the impact of season on blood pressure response during exercise testing.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 94 healthy men (aged 20-65 years).
  • Evaluation of pretest, exercise (five-step treadmill test), and recovery blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate.

  • Measurements were taken during both summer and winter seasons.

    • Main Results:

    • Resting and recovery systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher in winter than in summer.
    • Exercise diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher in winter (P < 0.0001).
    • The increase in diastolic blood pressure during exercise was greater in winter and independently associated with season and resting DBP.

    Conclusions:

    • Exercise diastolic blood pressure exhibits seasonal variation, while exercise systolic blood pressure does not.
    • Seasonal influences on blood pressure response during exercise testing should be considered in research and clinical practice.
    • Understanding these seasonal effects is important for accurate interpretation of exercise blood pressure measurements.
