ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on platelet function in elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.Methods81 elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes were divided into the routine treatment group (group A, n=41) and regular exercise group (group B, n=40). All patients of two groups were treated with routine treatment. The exercise with moderate intensity was performed in the group B for 3 months besides routine treatment. The platelet membrane glycoprotein CD62P, CD61 (Ⅲa) were detected by flow cytometric analysis and platelet aggregating ratio was measured before and after regular aerobic exercise.ResultsAfter three months, the systolic blood pressures were 166±3.6 mm Hg (group A) and 152±3.5 mm Hg (group B); the diastolic blood pressures were 93±4.2 mm Hg (group A) and 83±4.3 mm Hg (group B); the contents of blood glucose were 7.4±2.4 mmol/L (group A) and 6.3±1.9 mmol/L (group B); the positive percents of platelet membrane glycoproten CD62P were 27.3±2.2% (group A) and 21.5±3.3% (group B), CD61(Ⅲa) were 26.3±2.3% (group A) and 20.2±2.9% (group B) and platelet aggregation rates were 78.4±4.5% (group A) and 69.7±5.4% (group B), there was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionRegular aerobic exercise can decrease the positive percent of platelet membrane glycoprotein and platelet aggregation rate in elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
