What does chronic hypertension mean?

Chronic hypertension refers to primary hypertension, the cause of primary hypertension is not completely clear, and is considered to be related to multiple factors, the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Primary hypertension is a chronic disease, and there is no cure for it. It requires long-term treatment with blood pressure-lowering drugs to keep blood pressure under control in the target range. It is also necessary to actively engage in lifestyle management, including a low-salt, low-fat diet, smoking and alcohol cessation, weight control, exercise, eating more vegetables and fruits, and maintaining a good state of mind. It is also important to actively control other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.
