Simple exercise test may reveal hidden risks in flu patients
NCT ID NCT07007377
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from the University of Sao Paulo looked at whether measuring blood pressure during an exercise test can help predict outcomes in adults with flu-like symptoms, especially those who are unvaccinated. Researchers enrolled 62 participants and followed them for 30 days. The goal was to see if different responses to exercise, like blood pressure changes, could give doctors a better idea of a patient's risk.
