Key result
A lifestyle management educational program significantly decreased systolic blood pressure (P=0.027), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.040), and BMI (P=0.034) in hypertensive patients post-angioplasty.
Why the study?
Hypertension is a prevalent risk factor for arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease, prompting evaluation of a lifestyle management program on blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index in hypertensive patients who underwent angioplasty.
Does a lifestyle management educational program improve blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index in patients with hypertension who have undergone angioplasty?
Population
60 patients with HTN who had undergone angioplasty

p-value: P=0.027 (SBP), P=0.040 (DBP), P=0.034 (BMI)
A short-term lifestyle management educational program significantly reduces blood pressure and BMI in hypertensive patients following angioplasty.
Jafari et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Hypertension post-angioplasty (n=60). Lifestyle management educational program vs. Control group was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI) (p=P=0.027 (SBP), P=0.040 (DBP), P=0.034 (BMI)). A lifestyle management educational program significantly decreased systolic blood pressure (P=0.027), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.040), and BMI (P=0.034) in hypertensive patients post-angioplasty.
