Background. Exercise is recommended as an effective lifestyle behaviour for adults to prevent and treat hypertension. In this study, a randomized-effect meta-analysis was used to analyse the influence of exercise interventions on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Methods. Candidate papers were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library electronic databases, and 46 studies were finally included and analysed. Results. It was shown that preplanned walking (systolic blood pressure (SBP): WMD (weighted mean difference) = −5.94, 95% CI: −8.57, −3.30; diastolic blood pressure (DBP): WMD = −2.66, 95% CI: −3.66, −1.67), yoga (SBP: WMD = −5.09, 95% CI: −9.28, −0.89; DBP: WMD = −3.06, 95% CI: −5.16, −0.96), aquatic sports (SBP WMD = −7.53, 95% CI: −11.40, −3.65; DBP: WMD = −5.35, 95% CI: −9.00, −1.69), and football (SBP: WMD = −6.06, 95% CI: −9.30, −2.82; DBP: WMD = −5.55, 95% CI: −8.98, −2.13) had significant effects on blood pressure reduction. However, Tai Chi (SBP: WMD = −8.31, 95% CI: −20.39, 3.77; DBP: WMD = −3.05, 95% CI: −6.96, 0.87) and Qigong (SBP: WMD = −4.34, 95% CI: −13.5, 4.82; DBP: WMD = −3.44, 95% CI: −7.89, 1.01) did not significantly reduce blood pressure. The heterogeneity of the meta-analysis was high. Conclusion. Walking, yoga, aquatic sports, and football were feasible and independent lifestyle interventions, and they were effective options for treating hypertension. More scientifically designed randomized controlled trials are needed in the future to further compare different forms of exercise for the treatment of hypertension.

AbstractAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are used to reduce blood pressure and vascular resistance by modulating the ACE activity responsible for the angiotensin II formation. However, different ACEi seem to influence exercise-induced angiogenesis. The objective of this review was to investigate the effects of different ACEi on vessel growth in skeletal muscle induced by exercise training. The present study is characterized by a narrative literature review design, the databases of Scielo, Google Scholar and PubMed were consulted. There are different groups of ACEi , sulfhydryl group such as captopril and a carboxyl group such as perindiporil and enalapril that can influence their effects on ACE activity. It is already known that exercise promotes the increase of vessels from vessels already existing in the skeletal musculature, a process known as angiogenesis and contributes to the blood pressure reduction (BP). Although these different responses are still scarce, vessel endothelial growth factor (VEFG) and nitric oxide (NO) may participate. Thus, the use of different ACEi can influences the angiogenesis responses induced by exercise, being one of the important mechanisms for BP reduction. The choice of ACEi group should be carefully analyzed for hypertensive individuals who practice physical exercise. Keywords: Physical Education and Training. Microcirculation. Hypertension. ResumoOs inibidores da enzima conversora de angiotensina (iECA) são utilizados para redução da pressão arterial e resistência vascular modulando a atividade da ECA responsável pela formação da angiotensina II. Entretanto, diferentes iECAs parecem influenciar a angiogênese induzida pelo exercício físico. Desta maneira objetivo desta revisão foi investigar os efeitos de diferentes iECA sobre o crescimento de vasos no musculo esquelético induzido pelo exercício físico. O presente estudo caracteriza-se um delineamento de revisão de literatura narrativa, foram consultadas as bases de dados do Scielo, Google acadêmico e PubMed. Existem grupos distintos dos iECAs, grupo sulfidrila como o captopril e o grupo carboxila como o perindiporil e grupo que pode influenciar seus efeitos sobre a atividade da ECA. Já é sabido que O exrcício promove o aumento de vasos a partir de vasos já existentes na musculatura esquelética, processo conhecido como angiogênese e colabora para redução da pressão arterial (PA). Entretanto os iECAs parecem influenciar esta resposta do aumento da densidade capilar no músculo esquelético. Embora ainda sejam escassos estas diferentes respostas podem ter as participações do fator de crescimento endotelial de vasos (VEFG) e o óxido nítrico (NO). Desta maneira o uso dos grupos do iECAs podem influenciar as resposta da angiogênese induzido pelo exercício sendo um dos mecanismos importantes pela redução da PA. A escolha do grupo de iECA deve ser analisada com cautela para indivíduoS hipertensos que praticam exercício físico. Palavras-chave: Educação Física e Treinamento. Microcirculação. Hipertensão

AbstractExtract oils from plants used in 3D polysaccharides modified with natural protein polymer modified polymer scaffolds can help to reduce blood pressure. This study aimed to use extract oils from plant (EOP)as blood pressure-reducing, bind them to magnetic iron nanoparticles (Fe3O4@NPs), then bind them to polymeric 3D print scaffolds [chitosan, polylactic acid, and polyurethane (CS/PLA/PU), modified with natural protein and finally separate them. This method made it possible to investigate different variables for nanoparticles. In this project, synthesis polymer, modified gelatin (Mo-Ge), PEGylation, extract oils from plant loading and release process in nanocarrier with different concentrations were examined and cell proliferation was optimized. The results show that 75% of the extract oils from plant loaded on iron magnetic nanoparticles containing PEGylated polymer scaffolds was released. Cell proliferation was performed for the sample. In this process, modification of scaffolding with polysaccharides modified with natural protein and extract oils from plant increased the efficiency of nanoparticles among the studied Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale. The size of A. sativum and Z. officinale were 29.833 nm and 150.02 nm size, respectively. These behaved very similarly to each other and A. sativum had the biggest effect in lowering blood pressure. The application of extract oils from plant in 3D mode scaffolding has not been studied before and this is the first analysis to do so, using nanoparticles.

Abstract Diet-related chronic diseases, such as hypertension and obesity, are prevalent in Native American (NA) communities where poor food environments are prominent and healthy food access is limited. The Chickasaw Healthy Eating Environments Research Study (CHEERS) is an NIH-funded study aimed to improve Body Mass Index and blood pressure control among NA adults with uncontrolled hypertension. This multi-level randomized trial, guided by a community-based participatory research orientation, was co-created by tribal and university partners and is implemented within the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma. We created hypertension-specific food boxes that contained DASH diet foods, coupons for purchasing vegetables and fruits, educational materials, and heart-healthy recipes for supporting healthy eating. Food boxes were packed and shipped monthly to intervention participants with a 30-day supply of: one fruit serving/day, one vegetable serving/day, one serving of unsalted nuts or seeds/day, one serving of beans or lentils/day, and two servings of fatty fish/week. We will present our participatory approach in co-developing the CHEERS study methods, findings with a focus on older adults, and lessons learned. CHEERS is the first innovative food box intervention to be conducted in NA communities. Food box interventions show promise in improving dietary intake and reducing hypertension and obesity in rural and poor food environments.

Abstract Background Reach Out is a factorial trial studying multicomponent behavioral interventions to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive emergency department patients. The original study protocol was published in June 2020. Here, we describe the updated protocol, including a supplemental study, Reach Out Cognition. Reach Out Cognition is a remote study that will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and satisfaction of digital, self-administered cognitive assessments and Bluetooth-enabled, self-measured blood pressure monitoring in the Reach Out population. We will also estimate the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment in Reach Out participants. Methods Reach Out Cognition includes remote enrollment and follow-up assessments. Reach Out Cognition extends Reach Out data collection past the current 12 months to 15 and 18 months. Participants will be Reach Out participants who complete their 12-month outcome assessments and opt to continue in the cohort study. Participants will continue to receive the Reach Out intervention, consisting of (1) daily healthy behavior text messaging and (2) weekly self-measured blood pressure monitoring. Blood pressure will be measured using Bluetooth-enabled self-measured blood pressure monitoring devices, and cognition will be measured using digital self-administered cognitive assessments at 12, 15, and 18 months. Discussion Reach Out Cognition will explore the potential of remote, digital, self-administered assessments of blood pressure and cognition among predominantly working-age Black Americans. Reach Out Cognition will inform future clinical trials and clinical remote monitoring of blood pressure and cognition that may lead to new approaches to treating and reducing hypertension and cognitive disparities. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03422718. The record was first available to the public on January 30, 2018, prior to the enrollment of patients on March 25, 2019.
