This reporter was informed yesterday from the Second People’s Hospital, which is responsible for the project, that after the report appeared in the newspaper, the number of people who understand and participate in this project has gradually increased in the past two days. Another worrying news is that nearly half of those who participated in the screening are high-risk groups, and many people in their early 40s are already showing signs of atherosclerosis, and their health situation is not optimistic. It is understood that the Ministry of Health and the Futian District Government to bear the cost of a stroke screening from January 16 to February 28, in the Futian District, Meilin a village, Bagua Ling, Park West, East Park, Bihai Yuntian and Zhu Lin and other communities under the jurisdiction of the six community health centers at the same time, the jurisdiction of 12,000 permanent residents aged 40 years and above, can make an appointment to participate in free stroke screening of high-risk groups. Some people said: they have annual physical examination in the unit, there is no need for stroke screening. Ren Lijie, deputy director of the Department of Neurology at the Shenzhen Base of Stroke Screening and Prevention of the Ministry of Health and the Second Hospital of the city, said that the screening mainly includes initial screening of risk factors, physical and laboratory examinations, carotid ultrasonography and homocysteine examination. “These are items that would not be covered at all by a general physical examination.” The reporter learned yesterday in the Meilin a village community health center, screening has begun four days, the community health screening a total of 325 people, but more than half are high-risk groups. And Futian District’s East Park, Bagua Ling, Zhulin, Bihai Yuntian, Park West five major community health centers screened a total of 1242 people, 45% belong to high-risk groups. ”Shenzhen as a city with an average age of only the early 30s, such a number is really alarming.” He Xiangyang, director of the Meilin First Village Community Health Center of the Second Municipal Hospital, told reporters that such a high risk rate was unexpected. Compared to this, the national screening rate of high-risk people is only about 20%. Experts point out that there are eight high-risk factors for stroke, with blood pressure at or above 140/90 mmHg; atrial fibrillation or valvular heart disease; smoking; dyslipidemia; diabetes; little physical activity; significant overweight and a family history of stroke. “If you have three or more of these eight items, you are at high risk for stroke, and it is best to receive carotid ultrasound screening as soon as possible.” Ren Lijie said that the carotid artery is a window to the arteries of the whole body, and if there is plaque formation on the carotid vessel wall, it will gradually form a narrowing, resulting in poor blood flow.
