You monitor a patient's blood pressure response to exercise and note a relatively linear increase in systolic blood pressure with increasing exercise intensity. The change in the patient systolic blood pressure with exercise is best explained by:

1. Increased cardiac output

2. Decreased peripheral resistance

3. Increased oxygen saturation

4. Decreased myocardial oxygen consumption

The solution will be posted in a few days
