Exercise testing can serve as a powerful physiologic probe to unmask subclinical cardiovascular abnormalities well before disease onset. For example, blood pressure changes during exercise (EBP) can reveal a latent tendency toward future development of hypertension. At present, there is no reliable circulating biomarker—a protein or other molecule present in the blood stream—indicative of hypertension risk.
