Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of aerobic exercises on platelet function in patients with phase Ⅰ essential hypertension (EH). Methods Low-intensity aerobic exercises therapy was given to 36 patients with phase Ⅰ EH for three months. Changes of their blood pressure, heart rate, platelet aggregation rate (PAGTmax), alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) and mean platelet volume (MPV) werer ecorded and compared to those in 36 normal healthy controls. Results As compared to those in controls,PAGTmax, level of GMP-140 and MPV were all increased in patients with phase Ⅰ EH before exercises therapy(t=15.221, 10. 916 and 16. 401, respectively, all P < 0. 01 ). After exercises therapy, 24-hour mean blood pressure decreased in association with reduction in PAGTmax to (0. 80±0. 05)% from (0. 88±0. 08) % (t=4. 323, P < 0. 05), level of GMP-140 decreased to ( 28±20) μg/L from (57±23 ) μg/L ( t=15.049, P<0.01) and MPV decreased to (9.0±0.9)fl from (9.1±0.9)fl (t=5.518, P <0.05) before it. But, there was no significant difference in these in dicators of platelet function in controls before and after exercise therapy (P>0.05). Conclusions Aerobic exercises therapy could be effective in lowering blood pressure in patients of mild EH with increased platelet activation, as well as inhibition ontheir platelet activation.
