“…The three therapies have been proven to have significant impacts on reducing stress among people with hypertension. A combination of therapy between physical therapy and psychosocial therapy named yoga which is beneficial for reducing stress in patients with hypertension (Wu et al, 2019).…”

“…The benefits of this music therapy for health are preventing cognitive stress because stress increases blood pressure which is potentially hypertensive. Music therapy is also suitable for reducing the risk of poor mental health (Knight et al, 2001& Chen, 2019 Another therapy that is useful for people with hypertension is the therapy to get closer to religion and improve spirituality. In religion, there is a series of worship that is beneficial for human physical and mental health.…”

“…In yoga, there are physical movements, breathing, and meditation in which all three combined techniques provide an influence on stress, peace of mind, and anxiety, which are beneficial for reducing blood pressure for people with hypertension. That is why yoga has become one of the most popular exercises for hypertension sufferers, thus making yoga a part of their lifestyle to get physical and mental health (Wu, et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to determine the comparison between physical therapy and psychosocial therapy to control stress among hypertensive patients. Hypertension develops rapidly in developing countries with one of the most considered factors is chronic stress. Most hypertensive patients use drugs to lower their blood pressure even though anti-hypertensive drugs could cause undesirable side effects. Many studies were conducted to relieve stress in hypertensive patients as companion therapy. Stress causes blood pressure to rise; thus, stress control is essential to control blood pressure. The therapies reviewed here are physical therapy and psychosocial therapy, which serve to control stress among hypertensive patients. The study discusses the advantages of each therapy and the different therapeutic methods that can be applied by physical therapy and psychosocial therapy as additional therapies for hypertensive patients or for people who want to control stress in their lives. In general, physical therapy and psychosocial therapy have the same benefits for reducing stress in hypertensive patients.

“…Chronic exposure to exercise directly impacts BP values. The quantity and quality of evidence available to make this claim are such that many meta-analytic estimates show the positive chronic effects of various exercise modalities in BP (Cornelissen and Smart, 2013;Corso et al, 2016;MacDonald et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2019). Cornelissen and Smart (2013) conducted one of the most robust meta-analytic explorations of chronic exercise effects on BP values.…”

“…Other modalities of exercise might also impact BP. Wu et al (2019) recently conducted a meta-analysis on the effects of yoga training on BP. In their pooled analysis of 49 trials, yoga was more effective than control in reducing SBP and DBP values of individuals with prehypertension (-5.2 mm Hg for SBP and -2.8 mm Hg for DBP) and hypertension (-8.7 mm Hg for SBP and -4.8 mm Hg for DBP).…”

The following narrative review addresses the relationship between physical activity and exercise with cardiovascular health, focusing primarily on the following risk factors for atherosclerosis: hypertension, dyslipidemia, and vascular function. Cardiovascular diseases are intimately associated with mortality and morbidity, and current societal organization contributes to the incidence of cardiovascular events. A worldwide epidemiological transition to cardiovascular deaths was observed in the last century, with important decrements in physical activity and diet quality. An atherogenic environment started to be the new normal, with risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and endothelial dysfunction observed in great portions of the population. Exercise is an important tool to improve overall health. For hypertension, a great amount of evidence now puts exercise as an effective therapeutic tool in the treatment of this condition. The effects of exercise in modifying blood lipid-lipoprotein are less clear. Despite the rationale remaining solid, methodological difficulties impair the interpretation of possible effects in these variables. Vascular function, as assessed by flow-mediated dilatation, is a good measure of overall vascular health and is consistently improved by exercise in many populations. However, in individuals with hypertension, the exercise literature still needs a further description of possible effects on vascular function variables. Physical activity and exercise are associated with improved cardiovascular health, especially with reduced blood pressure, and should be encouraged on the individual and population level. Evidence regarding its effects on blood lipids and flow-mediated dilatation still need solid landmark studies to guide clinical practice.
