Key result
Antihypertensive therapy and moderate regular exercise can induce regression of cardiac and vascular hypertrophy, slowing the subsequent redevelopment of hypertension.
Why the study?
Does antihypertensive therapy and exercise improve regression of cardiovascular hypertrophy and maintain blood pressure in hypertension models and patients?

May support combined therapy-exercise strategies for hypertrophy regression in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective RCT confirmation.
Does antihypertensive therapy and exercise improve regression of cardiovascular hypertrophy and maintain blood pressure in hypertension models and patients?
Regression of cardiovascular hypertrophy through antihypertensive therapy and exercise may slow the redevelopment of hypertension and serve as a strategy for primary and secondary prevention.
Körner et al. (1988) conducted a review in Hypertension. Antihypertensive therapy and exercise was evaluated. Antihypertensive therapy and moderate regular exercise can induce regression of cardiac and vascular hypertrophy, slowing the subsequent redevelopment of hypertension.
