Overview of HypertensionHigh BP is a risk factor for stroke, CHF,
angina, renal failure, …Hypertension clusters with hyperlipidemia,
diabetes and obesityDrugs have been effective in treating high
BP but because of their side effects and cost, non-pharmacologic alternatives are attractive

Classification of Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure Category Systolic DiastolicOptimal <120 <80Normal <130 <85High Normal 130-139 85-89Hypertension Stage 1 (Mild) 140-159 90-99 Stage 2 (Moderate) 160-179 100-109 Stage 3 (Severe) > 180 > 110

Pathophysiology of Hypertension
High blood pressure is also associated with obesity, salt intake, low potassium intake, physical inactivity, heavy alcohol use and psychological stress
Intra-abdominal fat and hyperinsulinemia may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension

Cardiovascular Consequences of Hypertension
Individuals with BP > 160/95 have CAD, PVD & stroke that is 3X higher than normal
HTN may lead to retinopathy and nephropathy
HTN is also associated with subclinical changes in the brain and thickening and stiffening of small blood vessels
![Page 8: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cardiovascular Consequences of Hypertension
Increased cardiac afterload leads to left ventricular hypertrophy and reduced early diastolic filling
Increased LV mass is positively associated with CV morbidity and mortality independent of other risk factors
High BP also promotes coronary artery calcification, a predictor of sudden death
![Page 9: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hypertension & CVD Outcomes
Increased BP has a positive and continuous association with CV events
Within DBP range of 70-110 mm Hg, there is no threshold below which lower BP does not reduce stroke and CVD risk
A 15/6 mm Hg BP reduction reduced stroke by 34% and CHD by 19% over 5 years

Lifestyle Changes for Hypertension
Reduce excess body weight Reduce dietary sodium to < 2.4 gms/dayMaintain adequate dietary intake of potassium,
calcium and magnesiumExercise moderately each dayEngage in meditation or relaxation dailyCessation of smoking

Medical Therapy and Implications for Exercise Training
Pharmacologic and nonpharmocologic treatment can reduce morbidity
Some antihypertensive agents have side-effects and some worsen other risk factors
Exercise and diet improve multiple risk factors with virtually no side-effects
Exercise may reduce or eliminate the need for antihypertensive medications

Acute BP Response to Exercise
![Page 14: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Exaggerated BP Response to Exercise
Among normotensive men who had an exercise test between 1971-1982, those who developed HTN in 1986 were 2.4 times more likely to have had an exaggerated BP response to exercise
Exaggerated BP response increased future hypertension risk by 300% after adjusting for all other risk factors
![Page 15: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Exaggerated BP Response to Exercise
Exaggerated BP was change from rest in SBP >60 mm Hg at 6 METs; SBP > 70 mm Hg at 8 METs; DBP > 10 mm Hg at any workload.
Subjects in CARDIA study with exaggerated exercise BP were 1.7 times more likely to develop HTN 5 years later

Possible Mechanisms of BP Reduction with Exercise
Reduced visceral fat independent of changes in body weight or BMI
Altered renal function to increase elimination of sodium leading to reduce fluid volume
Anthropomorphic parameters may not be primary mechansims in causing HTN
![Page 21: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Possible Mechanisms of BP Reduction with Exercise
Lower cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance at rest and submaximal exercise Decreased HR Decreased sympathetic and increased
parasympathetic tone Lower blood catecholamines and plasma
renin activity

Exercise Prescriptions for Patients With Borderline-to-Moderate Hypertension
Patient evaluation
Look for lipid disorders, DM, retinopathy, neuropathy, PVD, renal insufficiency, LV dysfunction, silent MI/ischemia osteoarthritis, osteoporosis
Exercise testing GXT with modified Naughton protocol, R/O asymptomatic ischemic CAD, radionuclide
Exercise type Aerobic, low-impact activities: walking, biking, swimming, tai chi, stepper, treadmill walking
![Page 25: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Exercise Prescriptions for Patients With Borderline-to-Moderate Hypertension
Frequency 5 days/week as a minimum
Intensity Start at 50-60% maximum HRR & slowly increase to 70%; within 6 weeks work at 85% HRR or from 50-90% of maximal heart rate
Duration Start with 20-30 min/day of continuous activity for first 3 wk, then 30-45 min/day for next 4-6 wk, and 60 min/day as maintenance
![Page 26: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Exercise Prescriptions for Patients With Borderline-to-Moderate Hypertension
Excessive rises in blood pressure should be avoided during exercise (SBP > 230 mm Hg; DBP > 110 mm Hg). Restrictions on participation in vigorous exercise should be placed on patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
![Page 27: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Weight TrainingResistive exercise produces the most striking
increases in BPResistive exercise results in less of a HR
increase compared with aerobic exercise and as a result the “rate pressure product” may be less than aerobic exercise
Assessment of BP response by handgrip should be considered in patients w/ HTN
Growing evidence that resistive training may be of value for controlling BP
![Page 28: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Beta-blocker therapy and exercise
Non-selective Beta-blockers may increase a patient’s disposition to exertional hyperthermia. So patients should adhere strictly to guidelines for fluid replacement
Patients should use fluid replacement drinks with low concentrations of K+ to avoid the risk of hypokalemia

SUMMARYPhysical activity has a therapeutic role in
the treatment of hypertensionNo consistent relationship between
reduced weight and lower BPExercise at lower intensities is effective in
treating mild to moderate hypertensionExercise testing may help identify
exaggerated BP responses to exercise
![Page 30: Therapeutic role of exercise in treating hypertension](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56815d70550346895dcb7802/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SUMMARYExercise prescription for HTN should be
based on medical hx and risk factor statusExercise prescription should be adapted
to antihypertensive medications that may affect exercise HR, BP & performance
Incorporating resistive training into the exercise prescription may be of value for controlling blood pressure
