Prevention of complications of hypertension
May 17 is World Hypertension Day. High blood pressure is a common cardiovascular disease that, if left untreated, increases the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure and kidney failure. People with very high blood pressure (usually 180/120 or higher) may experience the following symptoms: severe headaches, chest pain, dizziness, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision or other vision changes, anxiety, confusion, buzzing in the ears, nosebleeds, abnormal heart rhythms, etc.
If you experience any of these symptoms and have high blood pressure, seek medical attention immediately.
In daily life, lifestyle changes may help lower blood pressure, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, reducing sitting, and getting more exercise, including walking, running, swimming, dancing, or strength building activities. Because the complications of high blood pressure may affect other organs of the body, patients with high blood pressure should also pay attention to the prevention of complications in time.
Heart failure prevention: Guidelines state that BNP/NT-proBNP is helpful in predicting heart failure, specifically NT-proBNP. BNP/NT-proBNP can predict the occurrence of heart failure when used alone or in combination.
Kidney failure prevention: Early kidney disease often does not have any symptoms, so early detection is very important to prevent the progression of the disease. Patients with risk factors need to be screened for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The standard screening test is a blood test (kidney function test) to calculate e-GFR and measure urinary protein or trace albumin.
