Aerobic Exercise Reduces BP in Resistant Hypertension

Aerobic Exercise Reduces BP in Resistant Hypertension

Aerobic exercise may help reduce blood pressure in patients whose hypertension responds poorly to medications, a new study suggests.

A randomized controlled clinical trial showed that patients with resistant hypertension assigned to a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training program had lower blood pressure (BP) compared with patients who received usual care.

“Resistant hypertension persists as a big clinical challenge because the available treatment options to lower blood pressure in this clinical population, namely drugs and renal denervation, show limited success,” Fernando Ribeiro, PhD, University of Aveiro in Portugal, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology. “Aerobic exercise was safe and associated with a significant and clinically relevant reduction in 24-hour, daytime ambulatory, and office blood pressure.”

The findings were published online August 4 in JAMA Cardiology.

I want you to read this article a little bit differently than you may have by adding my message to your own ideas:

This article makes it clear that people who have hypertension (high blood pressure, resistant or normal) or any other lifestyle-related condition must take a role in their own health improvement.

Aerobic exercise means just one thing: the patient must get up out of a chair and move their body for at least 30 minutes daily to achieve the impact of reducing their blood pressure
