Do not think that the cold winter is the season of high Stethoscope incidence of hypertension, high blood pressure is also summer, "Chen Shi " another small peak. Although many people "to counter high blood pressure" is no longer strange, but because of a misunderstanding of many, many patients with hypertension is still difficult to cross the "minefield", encountered complications and target organ damage.
New version of "hypertension guidelines" that hypertension is the primary goal of maximizing the treatment of cardiovascular diseases to reduce the overall risk of long-term, the merger of the time on cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damage assessment and risk stratification based on active treatment.
"World Hypertension League" 2008 "World Hypertension Day" as the theme of "family self-rated blood pressure." The purpose of self-rated family of blood pressure is called on the public especially the importance of self-blood pressure in patients with hypertension, timely understanding of their blood pressure, improve treatment compliance. In addition, certain types of self-blood pressure for hypertension diagnosis, assessment and efficacy of cardiovascular disease risk forecasts are important values. The current self-rated blood pressure to promote the use of international standards certified by the arm electronic device.
Many patients with hypertension and even doctors in general misconception that the electronic device measurements inaccurate. City survey found that many patients with blood pressure in the family self-rated use mercury sphygmomanometer. At present, the national blood pressure measurement guidelines or recommendations unanimously recommended by electronic home blood pressure measurement device. But the problem is that many of the current commercial electronic device is not certified. States stressed that guidelines Stethoscope should be used by international standards certification of electronic device.
At present, the international authority of the electronic device certification standards are the United States, Britain and the European three kinds of standards, certification of the electronic device through the pressure and high accuracy. Electronic device that arm-and-Wan Shi and Zhitao 3. States unanimously recommended by the guidelines of international standards certification of the upper arm electronic device. Of course, Wanshi device use, easy to carry, the more welcomed by patients, can also be optional, but its pressure by the wrist position and results of the heart whether they are consistent with the position of influence. Therefore, should use the Stethoscope certification by international standards, have prompted cardiac function in Wanshi electronic device.
Use electronic device for measuring blood pressure and the attention of the same mercury sphygmomanometer, such as the use of seat pressure, pressure before the break at least five minutes, sphygmomanometer cuff and the heart to maintain the same level, according to choose the right upper arm cuff size, and so on.
China's current promotion of the family of blood pressure measurements, is to raise the awareness of hypertension and high blood pressure in patients with medication compliance. Therefore, in formulating China's family blood pressure measurement options, as far as possible, simple, with operable, for pressure to uphold for a long time.
It should be stressed that the family of blood pressure measurements must be conducted under the guidance of doctors, patients must not be based on results of unauthorized changes pressure treatment. Whether to white coat hypertension, not only can be self-rated family as the result of prompt blood pressure, it will be based on a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure testing results to be confirmed. Therefore, family pressure, blood pressure should be carefully recorded each time the measurement of results and time will be a written record of integrity, and unmistakably to the doctor, a doctor based on reliable and accurate report on the results of blood pressure, make the right diagnosis and to formulate effective Treatment programmes. In order to prevent and reduce domestic Stethoscope reports on the results of blood pressure measurement errors, to promote the use of a memory or printing of electronic device.
