Abstract

Hypertension remains the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Isometric exercise training (IET) has been shown to be a useful nonpharmacological intervention for reducing resting blood pressure (BP). This study aimed to measure alterations in office BP, ambulatory BP, cardiac autonomic modulation and inflammatory and vascular biomarkers following a programme of IET in unmedicated hypertensive patients.
