Determining the Effect of Physical Activity in the Equilibrium of Artery Hypertension

Abstract

Arterial hypertension (HTA) is the most common cardiovascular disease in our context. Physical training considerably reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure, therefore regular physical activity is recommended in cases of high blood pressure (HTA), the level of this activity remains poorly known. The aim of our work was to study the relationship between physical activity The effect of physical activity in balancing blood pressure as well as the epidemiological and clinical aspects in hypertensives in Moroccan hospitals. This was a descriptive retrospective study conducted over a period of 2 years in the cardiology department of CHU Ibn Rochd. It concerned the subjects, known hypertensives, followed in the service during the study period. 227 hypertensive patients followed during this period Systolic hypertension was the most frequently reported. Median arterial pressure was 142.03 mmHg for the systolic, and 77.43 mmHg for the diastolic. The symptom most reported by patients was dyspnea on exertion (11.01%). Left ventricular hypertrophy was present in 10.13% of cases. Our study suggests a tendency to greater declared physical activity for subjects whose hypertension is controlled.
