Key result
Long-term antihypertensive therapy is linked to reduced exaggerated BP responses to isometric exercise in hypertension.
Why the study?
Does long-term antihypertensive therapy reduce the exaggerated blood pressure response to isometric handgrip exercise in patients with essential hypertension?
Population
16 patients with essential hypertension (EHT) and 8 age-matched normotensive controls (NT)
Comparison
Long-term antihypertensive therapy vs Baseline and normotensive controls
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
long-term

May attenuate exaggerated BP reactivity during isometric exercise; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
Observational (n=24)
Does long-term antihypertensive therapy reduce the exaggerated blood pressure response to isometric handgrip exercise in patients with essential hypertension?
Long-term antihypertensive therapy reduces, but does not completely normalize, the exaggerated blood pressure response to isometric handgrip exercise in patients with essential hypertension.
Kazatani et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Essential hypertension (n=24). Long-term antihypertensive therapy vs. Before therapy and normotensive controls was evaluated on Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during isometric handgrip exercise (DeltaSBP and DeltaDBP). Long-term antihypertensive therapy significantly reduced the exaggerated systolic and diastolic blood pressure response to isometric handgrip exercise in patients with essential hypertension.
