Cardiovascular hemodynamic response to peak exercise in individuals with multiple sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition resulting in decreased aerobic capacity (peak VO₂). The hemodynamic responses to peak exercise in MS are unknown. Further, it is unknown if the hemodynamic responses are due to disease or fitness. Therefore, the purpose was to compare hemodynamic response to peak exercise between individuals with and without MS, with similar peak VO₂. Individuals with MS (n = 21) and CON (n = 21) underwent maximal incremental cycle exercise test to assess peak aerobic capacity (peak VO₂). Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure were obtained every other minute of the exercise test. There were no significant group differences in peak VO₂. All hemodynamic variables increased similarly
