5 month is 17, World Hypertension Day; Shandong University Qilu Hospital Department of Cardiology held The theme is.Quot; you know your blood pressure.Quot; a series of publicity and consultation activities, Department of Cardiology experts and medical staff to answer questions for you.
it is understood that hypertension is not only an independent disease, but also an important risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which changes and damages the structure and function of the heart, brain, kidney, blood vessels and fundus, and seriously affects our health and life. At present, the prevalence rate of hypertension in adults over 18 years of age in China is 25.2%, the number of people in the country is more than 300 million, and 1 of every 4 dead patients die of hypertension. The patients with 1/2 of hypertension do not know that they have high blood pressure, and the hypertensive patients who have been treated have not been controlled by 2/3. Therefore, the residents of normal blood pressure should measure blood pressure every 1 to 2 years to improve the awareness of hypertension, so as to realize the scientific process of early detection, early assessment, early intervention, early treatment, and reduce the serious complications of hypertension to a minimum.
Bu Peili, the chief physician of Department of Cardiology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, told reporters that lowering blood pressure to the target level could significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, which could reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 30% and the incidence of stroke by 40%. If the medicine is interrupted, the blood pressure will rise again, which can induce the occurrence of myocardial infarction and stroke. According to Professor Bu, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications is doubled as systolic blood pressure increases every 20mmHg or diastolic blood pressure increases by 10mmHg. The risk of stroke and fatal myocardial infarction increased by 53% and 31% respectively in Asian population at elevated 10mmHg systolic blood pressure.
according to a reporter, the intervention strategy for the target of antihypertensive target for elderly hypertensive patients in China is to be recruited and recruited in Shandong area. The project originates from the medical and health science and technology innovation project of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. It is the leading unit of the national cardiovascular disease center and the Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of medical sciences as the lead unit. It is mainly aimed at primary hypertension patients aged between 60 and 79 years of age of 60 to 79. Opportunities to be selected for research projects. There will be a lot of benefits for patients involved in this project. Experts will do a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the health of the patients. They will also take 4 years of antihypertensive drugs free of charge and test blood pressure with an electronic sphygmomanometer with a Bluetooth function free of charge; a professional doctor's free consultation, medication guidance and a follow-up of 4 years.
last, Bu Peili suggested: hypertension patients and blood pressure control under 150/90mmHg, if the patient has one of the following cases, the patient is older than 50 years old, diabetes, with the heart, eye, kidney and other target organ damage, recommended aspirin 75-100 mg / day, life-long taking.
