Brief summary (registry, in English)
Hypertension (HTN) is the foremost preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, contributing to over 7 million deaths annually within the nearly 17 million attributed to CVD. Effective management through lifestyle modifications, including aerobic exercises specifically interval training presents a promising avenue for blood pressure regulation by promoting vasodilation and regulating the autonomic nervous system. Likewise, alternate nostril breathing has demonstrated efficacy in lowering blood pressure by optimizing oxygenation and improving endothelial function but their combined effect on BP measures is yet to be determined. Hence this study aims to determine the combined effects of aerobic interval training with and without alternate nostril breathing on blood pressure, rate pressure product and quality of life in patients with hypertension.
