N Engl J Med 1995, 333:1462-1467. A significant reduction in blood pressure and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy was noted in African-Americans with severe hypertension after moderate-intensity exercise training. The reduction in blood pressure persisted even after a significant reduction in antihypertensive medication.
