Cardiac rehabilitation program for older adults with hypertension

Abstract

Blood is pumped under pressure, which is referred to as blood pressure. It is considered normal when its value is 120/80 mmHg; however, when these values are higher, it is considered that a person has high blood pressure, which is a serious medical disorder that potentially increases the risk of developing cardiovascular, cerebral, and renal diseases. The aim is to determine the effects of a cardiac rehabilitation program in older adults with hypertension by gathering scientific literature information published in different databases to provide updated information. It is demonstrated that cardiac rehabilitation improves high-density lipoprotein levels, reduces risk factors such as cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, and waist circumference
