title: [Efficacy of nondrug correction of hypertension in general medical practice].
abstract: Effectiveness of nondrug correction of elevated blood pressure was assessed in a group of hypertensives selected from participants of a study of prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors conducted in one of Saint Petersburg districts. Patients were divided into 3 subgroups in which the following interventions were used: diet with decreased sodium content, aerobic physical exercise, or combination of these methods. Blood pressure lowering achieved with these methods (-11 mm Hg systolic and -6.8 mm Hg diastolic) was maintained throughout 2 years of observation.
