What is the hypertension stratification

Hypertension stratification usually refers to cardiovascular risk stratification of hypertensive patients, which is based on other risk factors such as smoking, target organ damage such as left ventricular hypertrophy, and medical history such as diabetes mellitus, combined with grading of the degree of hypertension into low-risk, intermediate-risk, high-risk, and very high-risk. 1. Low-risk: is defined as grade 1 hypertension without other risk factors or medical history. 2. Intermediate risk: includes hypertension grade 1 combined with 1-2 other risk factors and hypertension grade 2 combined with 1-2 other risk factors. 3. High risk: including patients with grade 1 hypertension combined with ≥3 other risk factors or target organ damage, and grade 2 hypertension combined with ≥3 other risk factors or target organ damage. 4. Very high risk: includes patients with hypertension grade 1 combined with clinical comorbidities or diabetes mellitus, hypertension grade 2 combined with clinical comorbidities or diabetes mellitus, hypertension grade 3 combined with 1-2 other risk factors or combined with ≥3 other risk factors or target organ damage or combined with clinical comorbidities and diabetes mellitus. If you have hypertension, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital to avoid delays.
