Clinical Trial: Isometric Resistance Exercise on Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Hypertension

U.S., June 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07665034) titled 'Isometric Resistance Exercise on Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Hypertension' on Sept. 17, 2025.

Brief Summary: Background:

Hypertension (HT) is the most common condition worldwide, predisposing to atherosclerotic disease. However, most HT patients have suboptimal BP control despite anti-HT medications. Isometric resistance exercise (IRE) (e.g. wall squat) may improve BP control, characterized by sustained muscle contraction with minimal change in muscle length and joint angle. Most randomized trials of IRE are short duration and their long-term effects on BP and atherosclerotic complications, particularly in the Chinese, remain un...
