Recently, seven community health service stations under the Nanxiang Town Community Health Service Center introduced 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors for the first time, which provides convenience for objectively and truly reflecting changes in patients' blood pressure and improving the detection rate of hypertension .
At the Community Health Service Station on Labor Street in Nanxiang Town, Xiaojia saw this 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor. It consists of a blood pressure recording box, a cuff, and a small shoulder bag. It can automatically measure once every half hour during the day, and the measurement frequency is one hour after 8 pm. Patients only need to carry a blood pressure recording box weighing only 250 grams to obtain their blood pressure fluctuations and circadian rhythm within 24 hours.
According to Chen Hongzhu, a general practitioner at the community health service station, the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor can enable patients with hypertension to receive more reasonable treatment. “By tracking the subject’s 24-hour blood pressure changes, it can objectively reflect the subject’s daily routine. Blood pressure levels and various physiologies or pathologies in life The patient’s blood pressure fluctuations can be used to guide the patient in which period of time the medication is most effective in lowering blood pressure, so as to avoid accidents such as myocardial infarction and stroke caused by blood pressure fluctuations. "
Aunt Pu, who is 71 years old, often feels dizzy and dizzy during this period. If I have a headache, I come to the health service station for consultation. After understanding the patient's symptoms and daily medication, Chen Hongzhu suggested that she use a blood pressure monitor to record blood pressure data. Later, in the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring analysis report the next day, it was seen that Aunt Pu's blood pressure increased significantly at 7 o'clock and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so Chen Hongzhu suggested that Aunt Pu take antihypertensive drugs during these two time periods.
It is understood that this time a total of 7 community health service stations in Nanxiang Town have introduced 24-hour blood pressure monitors, which are currently used in Shuguang, Yongle, Xinfeng and other community health service stations. Residents who have questions about their own blood pressure can proactively ask their doctors to use the device, and doctors will proactively recommend its use to patients based on different conditions.
