October 8, 2022, today is the 25th "National Hypertension Day". According to statistics, the number of patients with hypertension and in my country is as high as 270 million, and it is showing an upward trend year by year. Hypertension is the main risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the disease control rate of hypertension is only 16.8%, and the disease prevention and treatment situation is extremely serious.
On October 8th "National Hypertension Day", according to the reporter's understanding, large chain pharmacies across the country, such as Shuyu Pingmin Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd., Sinopharm Holdings Guoda Pharmacy Co., Ltd. , Yunnan Jianzhijia Health Chain Co., Ltd., Gaoji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Neptune Xingchen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. , Dasanlin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. and other pharmacies have simultaneously launched the "Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Double Standard" chronic disease management service. By carrying out health consultation , blood pressure and heart rate self-test and disease education activities, patients can enjoy professional and convenient chronic disease management at their doorstep.
Blood pressure and heart rate "double compliance". "Three highs" chronic diseases need to be managed together
The easiest thing for patients with hypertension to ignore in disease management is heart rate management.
According to relevant research data, more than 30% of patients with hypertension in my country have a fast heart rate. Studies have found that the faster the heart rate, the greater the risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and sudden death in patients with hypertension.
For patients with simple hypertension, the control targets of blood pressure and heart rate are blood pressure respectively. Therefore, patients with hypertension need to actively manage their heart rate to achieve both blood pressure and heart rate standards, thereby effectively reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and sudden death.
At the same time, hypertensive patients also need to monitor their own blood sugar and blood lipids levels. The proportion of hypertensive patients with hyperlipids and hyperglycemia is high. The superposition of three major risk factors will lead to a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, patients with hypertension should pay attention to the comprehensive management of blood sugar and blood lipids, and early screening and early treatment should be fully met.
Hospital retail operations are taking place together, integrated hospital and out-of-hospital
For hypertensive patients who need to follow the doctor's advice for a long time and take sufficient medication, out-of-hospital management is relatively weak. The hospital and retail need to connect to open up the internal and external hospitals and build an integrated chronic disease management system.
Director of the Heart Center of Peking University First Hospital Professor Huo Yong pointed out: "For cardiovascular diseases, we must adhere to the concept of 'repetitive, re-standard and improve', move the barriers of disease prevention and treatment forward, pay attention to daily monitoring of the two major indicators of blood pressure and heart rate, and strengthen the comprehensive management of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids, give full play to the power of the grassroots, so that the masses can receive various services such as disease education, prevention, management, and rehabilitation at the doorstep of their homes, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death."
It is reported that at present, hospitals and retail pharmacies at all levels are actively working to strengthen the prevention and treatment of hypertension, especially retail pharmacies to create a "three-high" chronic disease management system, pushing the chronic disease management of community residents from one kilometer away from home to one hundred meters away from home, and comprehensively improve patient treatment compliance.
Ke Guoqiang, general manager of Guangdong's large chain pharmacies and Dasanlin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., also hopes to improve the pharmacy service system and connect the inside and outside the hospital through regular in-store services, so as to better meet the health management needs of patients with "three highs" chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.
