Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing-Guided Exercise Therapy in Hypertensive Patients
Study Overview
This study looked at how exercise therapy, guided by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), affects patients with high blood pressure. It focused on improving heart and lung function, blood pressure control, and cholesterol levels.
Key Findings
- Participants: 67 patients with Grade 1 hypertension on medication.
- Groups: Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving standard care and the other receiving CPET-guided exercise.
- Duration: The study lasted for 12 weeks without changing any medications.
Results
- The CPET group had significantly lower blood pressure and better heart function than the conventional group.
- Cardiorespiratory endurance improved more in the CPET group.
- Cholesterol levels (LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides) and body mass index (BMI) were also lower in the CPET group.
Conclusion
Adding CPET-guided exercise to medication can greatly improve blood pressure, heart function, and overall health in patients with Grade 1 hypertension. This approach is effective and safe, offering clear benefits for patient care.
