Summary

This study tested two ways of doing exercise at home for people with high blood pressure. One group exercised with a live physiotherapist on video calls, while the other followed pre-recorded videos. Over 8 weeks, researchers measured changes in exercise capacity, blood pressure, and heart function. The goal was to see which method works better for managing hypertension remotely.
