Abstract
In brief When exercise alone does not NMM control hypertension, a medical ISMS regimen can be used in conjunction with exercise or other nonpharmacologic interventions. Diuretics, beta blockers, calcium antagonists, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are widely used to treat hypertension. ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists are good choices for exercising patients because they do not limit exercise performance and have few side effects. The author gives guidelines for changing the regimen from exercise alone to exercise and medication, and for stepping down from medical therapy.
