How does the life of pulmonary hypertension patient recuperate

  How does the life of pulmonary hypertension patient recuperate? For the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, patients must have more rest, pay attention to more rest at ordinary times, reasonably arrange their own lives, develop good living habits and eating habits, and do a good job of disease prevention. Let's have a detailed understanding.   1. Adequate rest: Adequate rest can relieve the fatigue symptoms caused by pulmonary hypertension.   2. Do not travel or live at high altitudes: Altitude alone can aggravate the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. If you live at high altitudes, you should consider moving to a lower one.   3. Avoid activities that can cause ultra-low blood pressure, such as taking a sauna or taking a hot bath for too long. They can cause excessive drops in blood pressure, which can lead to fainting or even sudden death. Also, you need to avoid prolonged exertion, such as lifting heavy objects for long periods of time.   4. Find a relaxing ac

How to manage adult mild hypertension?

 Core tip: Recently, the top medical journal BMJ published a clinical review by Professor Anthony J Viera and associate professor Emily m Hawes from the Department of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA, aiming to introduce the management of mild hypertension in adults in detail.

Cardiovascular disease is a common risk factor for one-third of the world's adults. Taking antihypertensive drugs can greatly reduce the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and premature death. However, most clinical trials show that patients with moderate to severe hypertension, clear cardiovascular disease, or increased risk of cardiovascular disease can produce beneficial effects. However, its therapeutic effect on mild hypertension without cardiovascular disease is not clear.

Recently, BMJ, a top medical journal, published a clinical review by Professor Anthony J Viera and associate professor Emily m Hawes from the Department of medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA, aiming to introduce the management of mild hypertension in adults in detail.

The article points out that the recent meta-analysis provides some insights on the management of mild hypertension in adults. From the summary data of a large number of clinical trials involving patients with mild hypertension, it shows that stroke, death, and total mortality caused by cardiovascular disease in patients with mild hypertension are significantly reduced. The meta-analysis compared lower target blood pressure, and the results also showed that the treatment of mild hypertension was beneficial, although the net benefit of antihypertensive treatment was greater for patients with a higher absolute risk of cardiovascular disease.

Before drug treatment, most patients with mild hypertension should have blood pressure monitoring outside the clinic to confirm hypertension. Lifestyle adjustment aimed at lowering blood pressure is suitable for all patients with hypertension, and it is recommended for those patients with a lower absolute risk of cardiovascular disease and delayed drug treatment.

Blood pressure control at the individual level of patients can be achieved through daily family blood pressure monitoring and low-cost antihypertensive drugs. For population-level blood pressure control, we need to improve the system-level interventions, such as mild hypertension registration, evidence-based program, drug follow-up, and performance indicators.
