High blood pressure during exercise does not damage the body due to vascular autoregulation
The claim that high blood pressure during exercise does not damage the body is refuted by evidence showing that exercise-induced hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and impairs myocardial function.
The retrieved literature clearly indicates that elevated blood pressure during exercise or hypertension is associated with adverse cardiovascular events, vascular remodeling, and impaired myocardial work indices, directly contradicting the claim that it is entirely harmless due to vascular autoregulation.
