About this Research Topic
In the realm of cardiovascular health, hypertension stands out as the most prevalent, yet preventable, risk factor, impacting millions globally. Despite the availability of numerous treatments, including pharmacological solutions, integrating non-pharmacological strategies like structured exercise training has gained substantial interest. This approach has been endorsed in various guidelines for its dual role in preventing the onset of hypertension in normotensive individuals and in managing high blood pressure in hypertensive patients. However, critical uncertainties persist concerning the optimal intensity, frequency, and type of exercise required to achieve target blood pressure goals across diverse patient populations.
This Research Topic aims to deliberate and expand upon effective exercise regimens, examining their roles in both normotensive and hypertensive scenarios. It seeks to explore the myriad of exercise modalities, determining their specific contributions toward lowering blood pressure and mitigating hypertension-related risks. Key questions include the dosage of exercise, its interaction with different antihypertensive drug classes, and the tailored approaches needed for individual responses considering varied comorbidities.
To gather further insights in this pivotal clinical area, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
o Predictive modeling of individual responses to exercise interventions in hypertension
o Development and assessment of bespoke exercise protocols for high-risk groups
o Comparative effects of low and high-intensity exercises on hypertension management
o Evaluation of eastern exercise disciplines for elderly and frail hypertensive patients
o Interactions between physical activity and antihypertensive medications
o Impact of various exercise types on blood pressure variability and cardiovascular event rates
Our aim is to collectively refine and enhance the strategies employed in exercise-based interventions for hypertension management, pushing forward the boundaries of cardiovascular preventive care.
