Question

Exercise-induced myocardial ischemia may cause left ventricular dysfunction, exercise intolerance, and a _______ blood pressure response.

A) Hypertensive
B) Hypotensive
C) Normal
D) Variable

Answer 1

Exercise-induced myocardial ischemia may cause left ventricular dysfunction, exercise intolerance, and a hypotensive blood pressure response.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise-induced myocardial ischemia may cause left ventricular dysfunction, exercise intolerance, and a hypotensive blood pressure response. Hypotension refers to abnormally low blood pressure, which can occur during or after exercise due to inadequate blood flow to the heart and other organs. The decrease in blood pressure is a result of reduced cardiac output and peripheral resistance.
