Inheritance of blood pressure and haemodynamic phenotypes measured at rest and during supine dynamic exercise.

Abstract excerpt

Thirty-two pairs of monozygotic and 21 pairs of dizygotic male twins aged between 18 and 31 years were studied. Blood pressure was measured and Doppler echocardiography at the level of the aorta was performed in resting conditions and at two levels of supine submaximal bicycle exercise (at a fixed work load of 60 W and at a work load corresponding to a heart rate of 110 beats/min). In resting conditions, a...
