That is interesting as BP is usually regarded as resting with a heart rate of 60-70. With a petrified white coat patient bombing along at 100 bpm or even higher what would his BP expect to be and could you work back from those readings to what it would be if he/she were resting at 60 BPM with some calculation or other?

Ie a muscular athlete lifting weights or another athlete running a sprint with high heart rates what sort of readings would they get while exercising at such levels?

Addendum

To make this clearer with BP there are two readings, maybe there should be three including heartbeat. Are readings taken at the Doctors surgery with anything above the normal resting beat range irrelevant? So ie what would the normal BP range be in a guy exercising at 150 BPM?
