Key result
Moderate aerobic exercise added to antihypertensive therapy attenuated excessive blood pressure elevations during physical exertion in African-Americans with severe hypertension.

May support adding moderate exercise to antihypertensives to blunt exertional BP spikes in severe hypertension; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Hypertensive patients are likely to have an exaggerated blood pressure (BP) response during physical exertion. When moderate aerobic exercise was added to medical antihypertensive therapy in patients with severe hypertension, excessive elevations in BP during physical exertion were attenuated even with a modest reduction in BP at rest.
