[Effect of sauna and walking series on blood pressure, peripheral microcirculation and performance behavior in essential hypertension].
On the basis of two groups with hypertension (stage I and II) pre-treated with propranolol the authors report on possibilities of the assessment of therapeutic effects in physical therapy series. The systolic and diastolic behaviour of blood pressure at rest and under load as well as the peripheral blood supply before and after the therapeutic effect of sauna bath and running series lasting several weeks were investigated according to the principle of staying power. The xenon-133 muscle clearance served as method for the recognition of the peripheral microcirculation. In the series of sauna bath hyperthermia as well as in the running treatment significant reductions of blood pressure at rest and statistically provable improvements of the peripheral haemodynamics were the result. In higher degrees of load the hypertensive position of regulation is not influenced by the therapeutic method described.
