• With fewer than 1 in 3 Americans with hypertension successfully controlling his or her blood pressure, medication, diet and exercise might not be enough.
• Now, a promising new non-drug treatment offers an additional approach.
• High blood pressure was significantly decreased using a new interactive breathing device, RESPeRATE®, according to a study published in this month's edition of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension.
• The multi-center randomized controlled study of 149 patients, led by Dr. William J. Elliott of Rush University Medical Center, demonstrated that as little as 45 minutes of weekly self-treatment with the RESPeRATE® device significantly reduces systolic blood pressure in both medicated and non-medicated patients.
• The reductions were significantly greater than those observed in patients in the control group.
• Patients in both groups self-monitored their blood pressure with data-logging digital blood pressure monitors.
• "Interestingly, the level of blood pressure reduction was correlated with the total amount of time spent in slow breathing, guided by RESPeRATE," said Dr. Elliott.
• "In addition, patients reported that RESPeRATE was very easy to use, making it more likely that this product could be used by most people, at home without the guidance of a health professional."
• "Well over 10,000 patients and physicians have already taken advantage of RESPeRATE to lower blood pressure" said Erez Gavish, President & CEO of InterCure, the developer of RESPeRATE.
• "We are confident that this validation from a large US-based study, together with the successful results from 6 previous European RESPeRATE clinical trials, will expedite the integration of RESPeRATE into the standard of care for hypertension."
• InterCure (www.intercure.com) is a medical device company that creates and sells products that harness the therapeutic power of breathing for the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, respiratory disease and other conditions.
• With 7 successful clinical trials, RESPeRATE® (www.resperate.com) became the first and only non-drug medical device indicated by the FDA for the adjunctive treatment of hypertension.
