A blood pressure of 177/102 mmHg is more serious and has reached grade 2 hypertension, and if combined with other risk factors, it is even more dangerous and requires active blood pressure control.
When the patient’s blood pressure reaches grade 2 hypertension and is combined with cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, dyslipidemia, and a family history of cardiovascular disease; target organ damage, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, proteinuria, and atherosclerotic plaques; and clinical complications, such as diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, and stroke, the degree of risk is elevated accordingly.
Grade 2 or higher hypertension should be actively treated with medication, and patients are advised to undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician to prevent the occurrence of serious complications such as hypertensive nephropathy and hypertensive encephalopathy.
