Acute Effects of Tai Chi Chuan Exercise on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Peripheral Artery Disease Patients
Studies have suggested that Tai Chi has a positive effect on Peripheral Artery disease patients. This study was set out to analyze the results on Tai Chi. 
Abstract:
Objectives:
To investigate the acute effect of a tai chi chuan session on blood pressure and heart rate in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). 
Design:
Randomized crossover intervention study. Seven patients with PAD, aged 50-79 years, not using β-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, or nondihidropiridinic vasodilators. 
Results:
Tai chi chuan exercise acutely decreased systolic blood pressure at 30 minutes after exercise (p = 0.042) and increased diastolic blood pressure at 50 minutes after exercise (p = 0.041). Heart rate did not change after tai chi chuan exercise. 

Conclusion:
Tai chi chuan acutely decreases systolic blood pressure in patients with PAD.
