Primarily opinions of treatment of primary hypertension phase I and phase II (mild and moderate hypertension) by Qi training - vitality maintenance

From June, 1996 to October, 1997, we have carried on research the treatment by method of Qui training – vitality maintenance in the mild-moderate level (the first-second period) of primary hypertensive patients, In comparison with fluid-used control group (n=24), we have some following comments. - About the effect of the method of Qui-training-vital maintenance: The method of Chi Gong-vitality preserving has effect in decreasing the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p0,05). - About the effect of fludex: Fludex decreased the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0,001). In Doppler cardiac ultrasonograph, cardiac output decreased (p<0,05). The functional parameters of left ventricle decreased (p<0,05), EF,% D increased. The subject is being expanded continuously.

Effect of Qi-training on mitral valve flow in patient with stage I and II of primary hypertension (mild and moderate hypertension)

Subjects: The patients who were 16 years of old or more and diagnosed with mild (stage I) and moderate (stage II) hypertension. Method: Open, compared and controlled study. The study group involved 40 patients who performed qi-exercises for 45 minutes per day on 30 days. Control group included 33 patients used fludex. It was found that qi-exercises, but not fludex, had increased the duration of wave-E. There was significant increase of total diastolic duration in study group, but not in control group. Qi-exercises did not change significantly the peak of atrial systole-induced left ventricular filling flow velocity, but fludex provided significant decrease. Left ventricular dystolic function of subjects in study groups did not change, comparing with baseline.
