Hypertensive patients, although there is no specific manifestation in normal times, the damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and fundus of long-term high blood pressure is huge.
Therefore, patients with hypertension should not only measure and record the blood pressure values at regular intervals, but also conduct tests on the following items regularly to prevent the occurrence of complications.
Item: Blood lipids
Due to the deposition of lipid substances, arteriosclerosis of the blood vessel wall, causing the elasticity of the blood vessel wall to decrease, thereby affecting blood pressure.
In addition, atherosclerosis is also the basis for the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , so it is recommended that patients with hypertension should test blood lipids every 3 months.
The second item: ECG and Card color ultrasound
The main function of the heart is to pump blood. Long-term hypertension can lead to hypertrophy of the left ventricle and cause heart damage. Therefore, the heart condition should be checked regularly, and it is best to have an electrocardiogram test regularly, and if necessary, echocardiography and other related examinations should be performed.
Item 3: Microproteinuria
The appearance of microalbumin in urine is a sign of early damage to the kidneys by hypertension, and it also reflects the damage to the systemic microcirculation and arterial endothelial function.
Item 4: Carotid artery ultrasound
Through ultrasound detection of the carotid artery, we can understand whether the carotid atherosclerotic plaques in patients with hypertension, the degree, and the condition of the wall thrombus and lumen, providing a basis for correct treatment.
Item 5: Examination of fundus
The main purpose of examining fundus is to understand the degree of arteriosclerosis and provide a basis for correct treatment.
Item 6: Blood rheology
Through this examination, stroke prediction can be made more accurately. In addition to preventing stroke, it can also guide the correct use of medicine. This inspection can be conducted once every six months, and if necessary, it will be tested immediately.
