Abstract:
Subjects: The patients who were 16 years of old or more and diagnosed with mild (stage I) and moderate (stage II) hypertension. Method: Open, compared and controlled study. The study group involved 40 patients who performed qi-exercises for 45 minutes per day on 30 days. Control group included 33 patients used fludex. It was found that qi-exercises, but not fludex, had increased the duration of wave-E. There was significant increase of total diastolic duration in study group, but not in control group. Qi-exercises did not change significantly the peak of atrial systole-induced left ventricular filling flow velocity, but fludex provided significant decrease. Left ventricular dystolic function of subjects in study groups did not change, comparing with baseline.
