Hi Sir.

I understand your concern.

To determine if this BP elevation is safe or not I request you to furnish the total amount in minutes you have spent on tread mill before the test termination.

Thank you.

The heart rate was 165 in above case.

or in another case on a trade mill after 30 minutes excercise without inclination the BP was 150/90. Heart rate was 135 . Can we say the cardiac system is normal ?

Brief Answer:
Yes a possible normal cardiac system.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

As per your values given,you probably seem to have a normal cardiac system.

But to conclude,Treadmill is not the ultimate decider.

2 D echo and Coronary Angiography are ultimate predictors of health of the cardiovascular system.

Thank you.
