Association of Cerebral Oxygenation During Exercise With Target Organ Damage in Middle-Aged Hypertensive and Normotensive Individuals.

Our novel findings suggest that indices of lower cerebral oxygenation during a submaximal physical task are associated with markers of early, subclinical target organ damage, namely increased cIMT, arterial stiffness, and arteriolar retinal narrowing in newly diagnosed, untreated, hypertensive individuals.
