The country's attention to the prevention and treatment of hypertension is closely related to the epidemic burden of hypertension in my country. At this stage, one of every 3 deaths in my country's cardiovascular disease is attributed to hypertension, and hypertension has become one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in my country. To improve the public's awareness of the seriousness of the harm of hypertension to health, reduce the public's cognitive misunderstandings, and enhance the self-care awareness of the whole people, the Department of Cardiology of Pingdu Third People's Hospital put forward the following suggestions for the majority of hypertensive patients:
