Very high risk of hypertension is defined as patients with cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, stroke, coronary heart disease and other acute cardiovascular events.
1. The specific risk stratification of hypertension is assessed according to the level of elevated blood pressure, other cardiovascular risk factors (including age, dyslipidemia, family history of early-onset cardiovascular disease, abdominal obesity, etc.), diabetes mellitus, target-organ damage (including left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, mildly increased creatinine, etc.), and clinical complications (including cerebrovascular disease, cardiac disease, renal disease, etc.).
2. Hypertension very high risk stratification criteria:
1) Hypertension grade 1: combined with clinical complications or diabetes mellitus;
(2) Hypertension grade 2: combined clinical complications or diabetes mellitus;
3) Hypertension grade 3: combination of ≥1 other risk factors; or target organ damage; or clinical complications; or combination of diabetes mellitus.
Warm reminder: the prognosis of hypertensive patients is related to the level of elevated blood pressure and whether or not it is combined with other cardiovascular risk factors and the degree of target organ damage, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for antihypertensive treatment, regular monitoring of blood pressure, and if dizziness, headache, blurred vision and other uncomfortable symptoms, timely consult a doctor.
