Resperate - breathe AWAY your high blood pressure!

Resperate and a FREE gift PEDOMETER STEP COUNTER to motivate your strive for fitness! 

Current extra offer while stocks last - Resperate is supplied with a free booklet 'About Blood Pressure'.

Just 15 minutes of RESPeRATE's paced breathing a few times per week and you will see a significant and lasting reduction in your blood pressure within 4 - 6 weeks! 

Resperate from InterCure is the latest and the most innovative non-drug treatment for hypertension - high blood pressure. Resperate is based on a novel technological approach called 'Interactive Respiratory Pacing'. Interactive Respiratory Pacing addresses pulmonary and/or cardiovascular conditions (i.e. hypertension / high blood pressure) through individually tailored breathing exercises dynamically adapted to personal therapeutic needs of treated persons.

Resperate is an evidence based medical device that is clinically proven to reduce hypertension / high blood pressure and as such, Resperate is incorporated into the standards of care for hypertension and recommended by therapeutic guidelines. There are 7 successfully completed and published Resperate studies conducted in general hypertensive patients. These studies have shown the ability of Resperate to reduce systolic blood pressure effectively and without any adverse effects or difficulties in compliance. Resperate is effective and safe to use even in conjunction with other prescribed or recommended therapeutic modalities, including pharmacological agents, lifestyle modifications, diet and exercise regimes.

Resperate is currently available in most of European countries, the USA, Australia and elsewhere with estimated global usage of over 30 thousand people. In the USA, Resperate is the only non-drug medical device that is approved and indicated by the FDA for the adjunctive treatment of hypertension.

Resperate - Clinical Evidence

Seven separate studies1-7 have examined the decrease in blood pressure for subjects who used the device for 15 minutes/day for 8 weeks, compared to "control" interventions (listening to relaxing music1 or home blood pressure monitoring4-5 or both2). Four studies were double-blind and randomized1,2,5,8, one was controlled and randomized4, and two were open-label experiences3,6.RESPeRATE Blood Pressure Reduction Graph

A total of 286 individuals participated in the seven studies: 55% were men; 78% were drug-treated, with average age of 58 years; Body Mass Index of 28 kg/m2; and initial office BP of 150/90 mmHg (9% pre-hypertensive; 25% Stage 2).

The decrease in blood pressure after 8 weeks of device-guided breathing among those with uncontrolled hypertension was 14/8 mmHg, compared to control treatment of 9/4 mmHg (p = 0.008 and p = 0.002, respectively for systolic and diastolic BPs). The difference was independent of gender and medication status. Control of BP (< 140/90 mmHg) was seen more commonly in the group that used the device: 26% vs. 4% of those with initial Stage 2 hypertension (> 160/100 mmHg, < 0.005); and 48% vs. 34% for those with initial Stage 1 hypertension (140-159/90-99 mmHg, p < 0.05). The drop in BP was directly related to the duration of slow breathing during the 8 weeks of treatment; those who used the device to achieve slow breathing more than 15 minutes/day had the greatest lowering of office blood pressure. It usually takes 3-5 weeks to achieve a sustained reduction in home blood pressure.

Larger decreases in office BPs were seen in older individuals and those with higher baseline BPs, whether taking antihypertensive medication or not. Verification of BP lowering has also been seen with home BP measurements (for up to 6 months of use7) and ambulatory BP monitoring3.

The above graph illustrates that people in the treatment group using RESPeRATE device experienced a significant and sustained reduction in blood pressure within 3 - 4 weeks of treatment. The control group did not show such effects.

Resperate - Mechanism of Action

Inappropriately high sympathetic nervous outflow from the central nervous system is believed to be an important component in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic hypertension that stimulates increases in cardiac output and peripheral resistance. Elevated sympathetic activity is often associated with desensitization of arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreceptors, which leads to increased BP fluctuation and sustained elevations in resting pressures.

Slow breathing (< 10 breaths/minute), especially with prolonged exhalation, appears to reduce sympathetic nerve traffic and thus causes arteriolar dilatation. The process is believed to be initiated by activated pulmonary mechanoreceptors, which respond to the increased tidal volume that accompanies slow breathing, and act in concert with cardiac mechanoreceptors to inhibit sympathetic outflow8.

Resperate - Summary of Effectiveness

In seven clinical trials, Resperate reduced hypertension / high blood pressure by up to 36 systolic points and 20 diastolic points (top 10% systolic and diastolic reductions), presenting an average blood pressure reductions of 14 systolic and 8 diastolic points (-14/-8 mmHg).

Resperate - Indications for Use

Resperate is intended to be used as a relaxation treatment for the reduction of stress through interactively guided and monitored individual breathing exercises. Resperate is indicated for use as an adjunctive treatment of hypertension / high blood pressure together with other treatment modalities (i.e. pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions) as recommended or prescribed by medical practitioner.

Resperate is a Class 1 Medical Device

Resperate is suitable for home use.  

Resperate - Precautions

Resperate should be used as part of overall health programme for achieving your target blood pressure recommended by your doctor. Resperate can be used safely in conjunction with medication and lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.

You must consult your physician prior to using Resperate, if you suffer or have suffered in the past from active ischemic   heart disease / unstable angina, severe congestive heart failure, chronic atrial fibrillation, stroke resulting in permanent impairment, chronic renal failure, severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema or major organ failure. 

You should not modify your hypertension treatments prescribed or advised by your doctor or without medical consent.

You must not use Resperate with you need to be alert and/or you are required to concentrate or when driving or using heavy equipment.

If you feel that there has been any change or deterioration in your health or mood, discontinue using Resperate and consult your doctor. 

There are no known contraindication! 

Using Resperate

Resperate is simple and easy to use. Each unit is supplied complete with user manual and instructional video. 

Resperate analyses your breathing rate and pattern and subsequently guides you through breathing exercises that reduce your breathing rate effortlessly and effectively. Your inhalation and exhalation rates will be prolonged accordingly to your personal needs. After each exercise, your breathing rate with return to normal and the beneficial effects of breathing control on your blood pressure will accumulate and remain.

Breathing exercises will reduce neural sympathetic activity and relax the muscles that surround your small blood vessels, leading to easier blood flow through your vessels and presenting sustained reduction in blood pressure.

Simply sit comfortably in a chair. Fasten the elastic belt snugly over your clothing on your upper abdomen or chest and position the respiratory sensor on your abdomen or chest. Plug headphones into the Resperate unit and place them on your ears. The device has built in voice instructions to guide your though the session. 

Resperate will analyse your breathing and compose a melody based on your individual breathing pattern. The Resperate melody will guide you through your breathing for a session lasting 15 minutes, gradually helping you to achieve a slower and more stable breathing pattern. Towards the end of the 15 minutes, the volume sound of the melody will gradually decrease and the Resperate will automatically shut down when your breathing exercise session is completed.  

Breathe naturally throughout the breathing exercise session. Excessive deep breathing may cause transient dizziness or palpitations.    

To effectively reduce your blood pressure, your weekly total exercise time goal is just 45 minutes!
