A member asked:
What physiological signals in the heart change systolic blood pressure with exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sympathetic nerves: During exercise the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. The catecholamines released as well as direct stimulation on the heart result in a faster heart rate as well as increased contractility which raises cardiac output. This increases the rate of volume/pressure rise into the vasculature (dp/dt). This increases bp.
