Abstract: It is the purpose of this study to demonstrate that kinesitherapy (running, swimming) together with sauna can elevate blood pressure.10 male patients with primary hypotension (group 1) and 10 patients suffering from hypotension due to ischemic heart disease (group II) were trained and investigated hemodynamically.In both groups we measured the mean functional vessel diameter A and additionally LVEF in patients of group 2 (n = 8). A significant increase of systolic pressure we observed in both groups. The diastolic pressure increased only by 6 Torr and 3 Torr (not significantly), respectively. Peripherical hemodynamics was significantly decreased and the LVEF increased in patients with coronary heart disease from 48 % to 57 % (statistically significantly).
