The authors, publishing time, subjects, interventions and courses, and outcome indexes and conclusion were extracted.Results There were 924 articles returned, and 35 included, which published mainly from 2009 to 2020. The subjects were patients with hypertension, and the outcome index was blood pressure.Conclusion Slow breathing training may work for hypertension, which associates to baroreflex sensitivity, heart rate variability, sympathetic nerve activity and cardiopulmonary diastolic receptors.

Key words: hypertension, slow breathing training, systematic review
