PMID 39239421WHAT IT FOUND
This paper has been retracted.
Do not use its findings on breath holding and blood pressure to guide clinical decisions.
What this paper is
This is a retracted publication. The article reports on the physiological effects of breath holding during exercise, but because the paper has been formally retracted by the journal, its findings are no longer considered valid evidence. There is nothing here to change your practice on.
What it does not show
The publication is retracted, meaning its data and conclusions have been withdrawn by the journal and should not be relied upon.
The easy way to misread this
Do not apply the specific blood pressure or heart rate values reported in this study to patient care, as the retraction indicates the paper is no longer considered a reliable source of scientific evidence.
