Curative treatment of hypertension by physical exercise

Hypertension, one of the most common chronic and sporadic conditions, figures among the important worldwide public-health challenges, and it is a major risk for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and other complications, including dementia. Hypertension is neglected by individuals, and the prevalence of this condition continues to rise across the world. A great number of patients receiving medical intervention is not successfully treated, while adequate curative health services are dependent on the exact update data of the countrywide prevalence of known and undetected cases. This renders elusive the possibility of a public strategy to eradicate hypertension. Accordingly, a global preventive approach in considering the known etiology of the disease established two types of cases hypertension including primary hypertension, which is idiopathic, and secondary hypertension, which is based on a demonstrable organic change in tissues. This is relevant since the secondary hypertension remains the most prevalent and it is associated with physical inactivity and bad nutrition. The environmental condition may be counteracting with an active life style. Physical exercise, which promotes hemodynamic and humoral changes in healthy subjects, may positively impact on hypertensive subjects. Indeed, patients with hypertension might improve their blood pressure, plasma lipoprotein-lipid profile, insulin sensitivity, likely to normotensive people, as well as the regression of the pathology of left ventricular hypertrophy. Exercise training is an important initial or adjunctive step that may be highly efficacious in the prevention and treatment of individuals with hypertension. Herein, we study the role of exercise training in the treatment of hypertension.
