Abstract
In brief Physicians must base their exercise recommendations for hypertensive patients on imprecise guidelines. Based on what the patient's hypertension workup reveals, physicians predict how the patient will likely respond to dynamic and static exercise. After the clinician rules out underlying disease and target-organ damage, non-pharmacologic and, possibly, pharmacologic therapy may return the patient's blood pressure to normal levels. Cautious participation recommendations are based on the patient's response to treatment.
