CAUSE
• The underlying cause of hypertension is not known in 90% of the cases
• In 5-10% of the rest of the cases, hypertension is secondary to a variety of known diseases such as chronic kidney disease
• Some known causes include sleep apnea, drug induced causes, chronic kidney disease, renovascular disease, chronic steroid therapy, and thyroid or parathyroid disease
![Page 11: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SYMPTOMS
• “Silent killer” • Usually no symptoms until it reaches an advanced state
• When a severe stage is reached, strenuous exercise and other forms of stress may cause: • Headache • Visual disturbances • Vomiting • Convulsions
• It may continue to be asymptomatic
![Page 12: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS TESTS
• Most people are not aware they have hypertension until they have a routine medical check up with their physician because lack of symptoms
![Page 13: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS
• Hypertension imposes an afterload on the heart, resulting in increased left ventricular wall thickness & reduced early diastolic filling • There is a strong correlation between left ventricular mass
and CVD morbidity.
• Duration of hypertension promotes the presence & extent of coronary calcium which is a potential predictor of sudden coronary death
![Page 14: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS
• Hypertension is also associated with impaired cognitive function & a thickening & stiffening of medium & small blood vessels • Can also lead to retinopathy & nephropathy
![Page 15: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TREATMENT WITH MEDICATION
• Beta-blockers: mandatory as part of therapy for heart failure due to systolic dysfunction (can be used in combination with diuretics)
• Alpha and Beta adrenergic blocking agents
• Central alpha 2 agonists & other centrally acting drugs (can be used in combination with diuretics)
• Calcium channel blockers (nondihydropyridines & dihydropyridines)
![Page 16: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TREATMENT WITH MEDICATION
• Direct peripheral vasodilators
• Angiotensin: converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (can be used in combination with diuretics)
• Most patients need at least 2 medications to achieve targeted blood pressure levels
![Page 17: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TREATMENT WITH LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS
• Lose weight if overweight • Limit alcohol intake • Reduce sodium intake to less than 2.3 g/day • Maintain adequate dietary potassium, calcium, &
magnesium intake • Perform aerobic physical activity for 30 min/day • Eat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy
products • Reduce saturated fat & cholesterol • Stop smoking
![Page 18: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EFFECTS OF DISEASE ON EXERCISE
• Headaches, visual disturbances, vomiting, convulsions, chest paints, & discomfort
• In hypertensive people, normal blood pressure response to exercise are exaggerated
• Diastolic blood pressure may slightly rise as a result of impaired vasodilatory response
![Page 19: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EFFECTS OF DISEASE ON EXERCISE
• Studies have documented a consistent 10 to 20 mm hg reduction in SBP 1-3 hours following exercise in those with hypertension
• Untreated hypertension may impair exercise tolerance, performance, or both.
![Page 20: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
EFFECTS OF MEDICATION ON EXERCISE
• If exercise test is nondiagnostic, individuals may take their prescribed meds at the recommended time. If test is diagnostic BP medication may be withheld before testing with physician approval.
• Beta-blockers can cause an attenuated HR response to exercise & reduced maximal exercise capacity
• Diuretic therapy may cause hypokalemia, cardiac dysrhythmias, or potentially a false-positive exercise test
![Page 21: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EFFECTS OF MEDICATION ON EXERCISE
• Beta-blockers & diuretics may adversely affect thermoregulatory function & cause hypoglycemia
• Beta-blockers may reduce submaximal and maximal exercise capacity
• Anti-hypertensive meds may lead to sudden reductions in post exercise BP
![Page 22: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
EFFECTS OF BOUT OF EXERCISE ON PATIENT
• Exercise training lowers blood pressure at fixed submaximal workouts
• Aerobic activities are emphasized but can be supplemented with moderate resistance training • Aerobic responses are immediate (post exercise
hypotension)
• If hypertension is untreated, there is usually some limitation in exercise tolerance
![Page 23: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EFFECTS OF TRAINING ON DISEASE
• Aerobic exercise leads to reductions of 5 to 7 mm hg in those with hypertension
• Resistance training may favorably impact prevention and the progression of hypertension
• Endurance training can have an average reduction of 10 mm hg on SBP & DBP in those with stage I or II
![Page 24: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
EFFECTS OF TRAINING ON DISEASE
• Mechanisms by which exercise training lowers BP may include: • Decrease in plasma norepinephrine levels • Increase in circulating vasodilator substances • Improves hyperinsulinemia • Alteration in renal function
• Physically active persons with hypertension have lower mortality rates than those who are sedentary
![Page 25: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
EXERCISE TESTING
• Individuals with hypertension will be stratified into one of three risk groups depending on BP level & presence of other CVD risk factors
• Medical evaluation before exercise testing
• Those who plan to perform vigorous exercise (≥ 60% VO2R) should have a medically supervised symptom-limited exercise test
![Page 26: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EXERCISE TESTING
• Persons in asymptomatic risk group A or B (BP<180/110) who want to engage in light or very light (<40% VO2R) to moderate (40-60% VO2R) a symptom limited GXT may not be necessary beyond routine medical evaluation
• Individuals in risk group C should have an exercise test before engaging in moderate exercise but testing is not necessary before engaging in light or very light intensity
![Page 27: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
EXERCISE TESTING
• Majority of patients with hypertension may begin moderate aerobic exercise training
• Resting SBP > 200 or DBP > 110 are contraindications to exercise testing
• Exercise test should generally be stopped with SBP > 250 or DBP > 115
![Page 28: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EXERCISE TESTING
• Aerobic methods: cycle and treadmill tests • Measures HR, BP, rate-pressure product, RPE, respired gas
analysis • Endpoints: serious dysrhythmias, >2 mm ST-segment
depression or elevation, ischemic threshold, T-wave inversion with significant ST change, SBP > 250 or DBP > 115, headache or other significant symptoms, fatigue, VO2max
• Medications should be taken at usual time relative to exercise session
• Strength: Free weights or machine 1 RM or maximal voluntary contraction • Observe for exaggerated pressor response
![Page 29: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION

• Frequency: aerobic exercise on most, preferably all days of the week; resistance exercise 2-3 days a week
• Intensity: moderate intensity aerobic exercise (40-60% VO2R) supplemented by resistance training at 60-80% of 1RM
![Page 30: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
• Time: 30-60 minutes per day of continuous or intermittent aerobic exercise. • If intermittent, use minimum of 10 minute bouts
accumulated to total of 30-60 minutes
• Resistance training should consist of at least one set of 8-12 reps
• Type: Emphasis should be placed on aerobic activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, & swimming. Resistance training using machines or free weights.
![Page 31: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION
• Aerobic Goals: • Control BP at rest and during exercise • Improve coronary artery disease risk factors • Increase VO2max and ventilatory threshold • Increase peak work and endurance • Increase caloric expenditure
• Strength Goals: • Increase Strength
• Time to goal for each: 4-6 months
![Page 32: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Patients with severe or uncontrolled BP should add exercise training to their treatment plan only after evaluation from their physician & being prescribed antihypertensive medication
• If resting SBP >200 and/or DBP > 110, do not exercise
• Beta-blockers: reduce HR by ~30 contractions per minute
![Page 33: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Alpha blockers, calcium channel blockers, and vasodilators may cause postexertional hypotension
• Exercise at 40-70% VO2 max appears to lower resting BP as much as, if not more than exercise at higher intensities
![Page 34: Hypertension Presentation for Special Populations · • Angiotensin: converting enzyme ... • Resistance training should consist of at least one set ... Hypertension Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5b42be047f8b9af5798b5caa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
