Ask A Cardiothoracic Surgeon: Why Your Blood Pressure Spikes During Exercise Are A Wake-Up Call

I’m Dr. Michael Richman, a double board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon. Today’s video is about exercise-induced hypertension. It is an entity very few physicians know how to explain, but can predict ominous long-term cardiovascular events. I explain why an exercise blood pressure spike might be more dangerous than you think, revealing hidden heart risks you can’t detect at rest.

For further guidance, advocacy or a cardiovascular/lipid consultation, please go to PaladinMDs because “it’s like having a doctor in the family.”
