Key result
Hypertension exercise lowers systolic blood pressure by ~8 mmHg in an elderly patient.
Why the study?
Hypertension often causes organ complications without symptoms, and exercise therapy to reduce blood pressure in the elderly needed evaluation.
Does hypertension exercise reduce blood pressure in an elderly patient with severe hypertension?

Does hypertension exercise reduce blood pressure in an elderly patient with severe hypertension?
A 3-day hypertension exercise program reduced blood pressure and relieved dizziness in a 95-year-old patient with severe hypertension.

Should not change practice in elderly hypertensives; hypothesis-generating for randomized trials of daily exercise.
Hypertension is often referred to as the "silent killer", because hypertension sufferers often go years without experiencing any problems or symptoms. Without realizing it, hypertension sufferers experience complications in vital organs such as the heart, brain or kidneys. The aim of this research is to provide hypertension exercise therapy to reduce blood pressure in the elderly. This scientific study uses the hypertension exercise method once a day for 3 days. The results of blood pressure checks before and after applying hypertension exercises to the patient were 180/110 mmHg to 172/100 mmHg. The conclusion was that after implementing hypertension exercises for 3 days, there was a decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive patients. You should be able to carry out hypertension exercises independently to help reduce or control blood pressure.

Fatikha et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Hypertension (n=1). Hypertension exercise was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure. Hypertension exercise performed once daily for 3 days reduced blood pressure from 180/110 mmHg to 172/100 mmHg in a 95-year-old female patient.
