Lopes S, Mesquita-Bastos J, Garcia C, et al. - Aerobic exercise added to optimized medical therapy resulted in a reduction in blood pressure among patients with low responsiveness to drug treatment.

• A randomized clinical trial was performed including 53 patients.

• Patients were randomized to either a 12-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training program (exercise group) or a usual care control group.

• Exercise group showed a clinically meaningful decrease in 24-hour and daytime ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

• Findings overall support embracing moderate-intensity aerobic exercise as a standard coadjutant therapy targeting this patient population.
