It is estimated that one out of three adults has hypertension and that more than 50% of them are unaware of this condition. Blood pressure screening can facilitate early diagnosis and reduce the risk of further complications associated with hypertension. However, disagreement between credible guidelines on major topics like diagnosis of hypertension and the threshold blood pressure values for treatment initiations caused confusion and inaction among physicians.
据估计,三分之一的成年人患有高血压,其中超过50%的人并未意识到自己患有这种疾病。血压筛查有助于早期诊断,并降低与高血压相关的进一步并发症的风险。然而,关于高血压诊断和治疗起始血压阈值等主要话题的可靠指南之间存在分歧,这在医生中造成了困惑和不作为。
