Abstract

This letter to editor originally intended to highlight the role of exercises in pediatric hypertension through an overview of studies in PubMed. The anti-hypertensive effects of exercise were demonstrated in many studies with concurrent improvements in cardiovascular fitness. Regular aerobic exercise also reduced blood pressure and restore vascular changes in obese pediatric patients with hypertension.

Keywords: pediatric hypertension; childhood hypertension; pediatric cardiology.
