National Hypertension Day : Know your blood pressure, and fight stress together###

"China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2019" shows that the number of patients with hypertension in my country has reached 245 million, and there are about 10 million new cases every year. The number of patients is younger, and even the prevalence of adolescents is increasing year by year [1-3]. Hypertension is the main risk factor that causes hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, , heart failure, , chronic renal failure, cerebrovascular disease, etc., and has become a heavy burden for our family and society. But nearly 90% of hypertensive patients do not know that they are in danger.

Hypertension can unknowingly destroy important organs and structures such as the human body's arteries, heart and other important organs and structures. If it is allowed to develop for a long time, once it causes very obvious symptoms, it is often life-threatening acute diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, , etc.

Home and foreign practices have proved that hypertension can be prevented and controlled. Whenever systolic blood pressure is reduced by 10 mmHg, or 5 mmHg of diastolic blood pressure is reduced by 10%-15%, the risk of stroke is reduced by 35%, the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by 20%, and the risk of heart failure is reduced by 40%[5]. Therefore, early prevention and control of hypertension can significantly improve patients' quality of life and effectively reduce the burden of disease. In the clinical diagnosis of hypertensive patients, in the " China Hypertension Prevention and Treatment Guidelines " (revised version in 2018), in addition to the clinic blood pressure measurement , inquiring about the patient's medical history and physical examination , relevant laboratory examinations will also be conducted, with the purpose of identifying the causes of abnormal blood pressure increase and distinguishing primary and secondary hypertension [6]. The European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology pointed out that "all people with hypertension should undergo simple secondary hypertension screening" [7].

The five hypertension items are introduced to determine the cause of hypertension. If the blood pressure increases significantly, if secondary hypertension is required, you need to check the five hypertension. In order to accurately evaluate the disease in clinical practice and formulate reasonable medication plans.

Diri Medical devotes itself to creating a diagnostic package for hypertension and its complications, and has a variety of testing platforms to protect the prevention, diagnosis and monitoring of hypertension!
