Under rertSng condftions obese hypertensive patknts have been described as hating a greater cardiac output and lower total peripheral resktance than lean hypertensive patients. To evaluate the hemodynamk patterns under stress conditions, we determined the hemodynamk response to mental stress (first study) and during isometric exercise (second study) in hypertensive patients with a body mass index >27 kg/m* (obese) and
