Related introduction:
According to the World Health Organization, adult systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg(2 1.3kPa) can be diagnosed as hypertension. Different ages and genders have different differences.
Systolic blood pressure has important clinical significance. There is a kind of hypertension called high systolic blood pressure, which means that diastolic blood pressure is normal and systolic blood pressure rises. Among all types of hypertension, systolic blood pressure is the most common and difficult to control. Clinical observation shows that simple systolic blood pressure increases with age, which is more prone to stroke and acute coronary events.
Extended data
Even if the diastolic blood pressure is not high, if the systolic blood pressure is160 ~179mmhg, it can be regarded as moderate hypertension. Systolic blood pressure ≥ 65,438+0.80 mm Hg is severe hypertension, and corresponding treatment should be carried out according to this classification combined with coexisting risk factors.
Without risk factors, the systolic blood pressure should be controlled below 65438 0.40 mm Hg; For patients with simple systolic hypertension complicated with diabetes or nephropathy, the systolic blood pressure should be controlled below 65438 0.30 mm Hg. With the increase of age, systolic blood pressure becomes more important. In adults over 50 years old, systolic blood pressure exceeds1.40mm Hg, which is more important than diastolic blood pressure.
