Does aerobic exercise complement antihypertensive drugs to improve blood pressure control in individuals with essential hypertension?
Aerobic exercise may have an additive or synergistic effect when combined with antihypertensive medications, potentially improving blood pressure control rates or reducing the pill burden.
Maruf et al. (2014) conducted a review in essential hypertension. aerobic exercise complementing antihypertensive drugs was evaluated on blood pressure control.
