Abstract
Physical exercise has long been recognized as an effective non-pharmacological approach in the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated that regular physical activity provides substantial benefits through mechanisms such as improving endothelial function, regulating blood pressure and lipid profiles, and modifying other cardiovascular risk factors. However, individualized exercise programs have not received adequate attention. In Vietnam, the current management of cardiovascular diseases remains largely pharmacotherapy-centered, while the role of physical activity is often underemphasized. Therefore, there is a pressing need to promote research and clinical application of exercise-based interventions in cardiovascular care to enhance prevention and treatment outcomes at the community level.
