High blood pressure is a potentially serious health threat that can lead to cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney damage and other serious consequences if left unchecked for a long time.
Therefore, sufficient attention should be paid to hypertension and effective control measures should be taken early
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Long-term high blood pressure may cause arteriosclerosis, increase pressure on blood vessel walls, increase the burden on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and can easily lead to serious consequences such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
High blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, leading to kidney problems such as decreased glomerular filtration rate, renal tubular dysfunction, and even the development of chronic kidney disease.
Therefore, for patients with high blood pressure, protecting kidney health is also crucial.
Metabolic syndrome and hypertension are closely related, and both often coexist.
Metabolic syndrome includes obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic abnormalities, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Long-term hypertension will increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease, affect the blood and oxygen supply to the brain, and may lead to cognitive function decline, memory loss and other problems.
Patients with high blood pressure can choose moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming, cycling, etc., to help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
However, patients should be careful to avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion during exercise to avoid elevated blood pressure or cardiovascular accidents.
