Abstract: Hypertension is one of the degenerative diseases commonly found in Indoensia. It is characterized by an increase of blood pressure above its normal level and is caused by various factors. This study aimed to obtain the influence of Prolanis exercise on hypertensive patients. This was an experimental field study with a pre-post test one group design conducted for 4 weeks. There were 25 respondents in this study obtained by using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed with the paired t-test.The results showed that there were significant differences between before and after two-times-per-week Prolanis exercise in systolic blood pressure ( p = 0,003 < α =0,001) and in diastolic blood pressure ( p = 0,002 < α =0,001). There were significant differences before and after three- times-per-week Prolanis exercise in systolic blood pressure (p = 0,000 < α = 0,01) and in diastolic blood pressure (p = 0,000 < α = 0,01). There were changes in mean blood pressure before and after Prolanis exercise two times per week and there times perweek. Conclusion: In the two groups, there were significant decreases of systolic and diastolic blood pressures after Prolanis exercise for 4 weeks consecutively.

We describe a clinical trial to study the efficacy of a casein hydrolysate, prepared using an Aspergillus oryzae protease, containing the major angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 131 volunteers with high-normal blood pressure and mild hypertension were randomly divided into four groups (n 32 or 33 in each group). Each volunteer was given two tablets containing four different dosages of VPP and IPP (VPP+IPP: 0, 1·8, 2·5 and 3·6 mg), daily for 6 weeks. A significant decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed at 6 weeks in the active group receiving 1·8 mg (P<0·01) VPP and IPP; in the active groups receiving either 2·5 mg or 3·6 mg, systolic blood pressure was decreased at both 3 weeks (P<0·05 and P<0·05) and 6 weeks (P<0·001 and P<0·0001) compared with systolic blood pressure measured before treatment. Changes in the systolic blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment in the four groups were −1·7, −6·3, −6·7 and −10·1 mmHg, and these effects were dose dependent. In addition, a significant difference in systolic blood pressure between the placebo group and the VPP and IPP group receiving 3·6 mg was observed (P<0·001) by two-way ANOVA. The antihypertensive effect was greater in mildly hypertensive subjects (n 20 or 21 in each group) than in any of the other subjects. No significant change of diastolic blood pressure was observed for all the test groups, and no differences in diastolic blood pressure in the test sample groups compared with the placebo group were observed during the test period.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pearl bath on basic parameters of the cardiovascular system in patients without hypertension Material and Methods: This study recruited 40 patients without hypertension (20 male and 20 female). All patients had their blood pressure and heart rate measured immediately before and during the procedure. Results: During the pearl bath HR increased by an average of 2.6 bpm (p=0,018355), and from the measurement before surgery by 5.5 bpm (p=0,000404). SBP decreased during the bath by 8.7 mmHg (p=0.000001), DBP by 4.8 mmHg (p=0,000727). SBP, DBP values for pre-treatment measurements decreased by 14.4 mmHg (p=0,000000) and 9.7 mmHg (p=0,000005), respectively. Conclusions: Pearl baths decreases blood pressure and increase pulse. The dynamics of changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate do not differ significantly between male and female.

Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, factors that cause increased blood pressure are physical activity, emotion, age, gender , nutritional status, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress. Data from the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital in 2018 the number of hypertension patients there were 178 cases of hypertension, the number of men was 82 people and women 96 people. One of the non-pharmacological therapies offered to reduce hypertension is massage therapy. The massage technique can remove blockages in the blood vessels so that blood and energy flow in the body returns smoothly. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the type of design to be used, namely the static group comparison method, the sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study was 20 people. The results showed that the pre-test sample in the treatment group was known to have the highest value of 160/100 mmHg and the lowest value of 130/90 and post-test mmHg with an average pre-test blood pressure value of 142.00 on systolic and 93.00 on diastolic, and 110.00 post-test. in systole and 79.00 in diastole. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between  reflexology neck massage with a decrease in blood pressure in patients with hypertension where the Wilcoxon Test results obtained p = 0.004 (systolic blood pressure) and p = 0.005 (diastolic blood pressure).

Hipertensi sering disebut “Silent Killer” (Pembunuh Siluman), karena pada penderita seringkali merasakan suatu gangguan/gejala tanpa diketahui penyebabnya. Semakin tua seseorang pengaturan metabolisme zat kapur (kalsium) didalam tubuh terganggu, sehingga banyak zat kapur yang mengalir bersama darahmenyebabkan elastisitas arteri berkurang. Arteri tidak dapat lentur dan cenderung kaku, sehingga volume darah yang mengalir sedikit dan kurang lancar. Salah satu terapi non farmakologi untuk lansia penderita hipertensi adalah pisang ambon. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menegtahui pengaruh pemberian pisang ambon terhadap tekanan darah pada lansia penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan one group pre test-post test design. Teknik sampling yang digunakan yaitu non probability, dengan populasi penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto dan besar sampel 31 orang sesuai kriteria.pengumpulan data menggunakan skala ordinal dan instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar observasi. Pemberian pisang ambon di berikan selama 7 hari pada pagi sebelum sarapan dan sebelum makan malam. Hasil uji Wilcoxon diketahui bahwa nilai ρ (0.000) < α (0,05) serta didapatkan hasil bahwa pisang ambon berpengaruh terhadap tekanan darah lansia penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto. Pisang ambon merupakan salah satu terapi yang efektif dan bermanfaat. Karena pisang ambon dapat membuat tubuh menjadi rileks dan pembuluh darah menjadi vasodilatasi sehingga aliran darah dan suplai oksigen menjadi lancar. Hypertension is a disease that often attacks the elderly due to the regula- tion  of  lime  metabolism  (calcium)  in  the  body  is  disturbed,  resulting  in arteriosclerosis.  Hypertension  sufferers  need  to  get  hypertension  drug therapy  to  prevent  arteriosclerosis.  But  the  fact  is  that  people  who  are bored take medication for hypertension due to the high dependency and price of drugs, so change determiner more economical and have minimal side effects, one of which is using Ambon banana. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving Ambon banana to blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. The design of this study used Pre-Experi- ment with a one group pre test -post test design approach. The population in  this  study  were  all  patients  with  hypertension  in  Mojogeneng- Mojokarang Hamlet, Dlanggu-Mojokerto, 31 of whom were a large sample of 31 elderly. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Indepen- dent variable giving Ambon banana and blood pressure dependent vari- able. The instrument used was the pre-post observation sheet given Ambon banana. From the results of the study showed that 31 respondents before given Ambon bananas did not have normal blood pressure but after giving Ambon  banana  there  were  11  respondents  who  had  normal  blood  pres- sure, whereas in patients with moderate hypertension before giving Am- bon banana there were 23 respondents and after administration of banana ambon there are 4 patients with moderate hypertension. The Wilcoxon test results show that the value of   (0.000) <(0.05) then H0 is rejected, meaning that there is an effect of consumption of Ambon banana on elderly blood pressure. The conclusion of this study is Banana Ambon can reduce blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, so it is expected that health workers can socialize the use of Ambon banana in elderly people with  hypertension.
