Hypertension, among the common conditions encountered in primary care, is known to have a causal link with cardiovascular disease. With new thresholds for diagnosing hypertension, its prevalence is expected to increase. Currently, a high percentage of patients have suboptimal or inadequately controlled blood pressure, thus placing them at risk for cardiovascular disease. Among the best strategies for improved outcomes are inclusion of the patient in decision-making as well as provision of individualized treatment plans.
高血压是基层医疗中常见的病症之一，已知它与心血管疾病存在因果联系。随着高血压诊断新标准的出台，其患病率预计将会上升。目前，很大一部分患者的血压处于未达最佳水平或控制不佳的状态，因此他们面临心血管疾病的风险。改善治疗效果的最佳策略包括让患者参与决策以及提供个性化的治疗方案。
