Blood pressure is the most basic vital sign of the human body. There are many figures about blood pressure that really need to be clearly understood, otherwise, there will be some misunderstandings. Here are some for everyone to learn and understand.

NO1: Ideal blood pressure: 90-120/60-80mmHg. Within this blood pressure range, the pressure on the blood vessels is the most suitable and not easily damaged, and various physiological activities are in a stable operation state.

NO2: Prehypertension: 130-139/80-89mmHg. When it is in this range, it indicates that the blood pressure has entered a period of rapid increase, and the possibility of developing hypertension in the future is greatly increased.

NO3: Hypertension: The blood pressure in the hospital office is greater than 140/90mmHg, and the blood pressure measured at home is greater than 135/85mmHg. However, the diagnosis of hypertension cannot be based on one blood pressure measurement. It is necessary to measure blood pressure three times on different days to meet the diagnostic criteria, and the different days should be separated by 1-2 weeks. It should be reminded that it is more recommended to base the diagnosis on blood pressure measured at home.

NO4: White coat hypertension: blood pressure measured in the hospital is greater than 140/90mmHg, and less than 135/85mmHg measured outside the hospital. The reason for this occurrence is unknown, but it may be related to mental stress. Blood pressure is subject to out-of-hospital measurement. People with white coat hypertension are more likely to develop hypertension in the future.

NO5: Masked hypertension: that is, the blood pressure is normal during the day, but the blood pressure at night is greater than 120/70mmHg. This is a kind of hypertension that is not easy to detect in time, and it is more harmful than daytime hypertension. It often needs to be diagnosed by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and requires active intervention and treatment.

NO6: 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: the 24-hour average blood pressure throughout the day is less than 130/80mmHg; the average daytime blood pressure is less than 135/85mmHg; the average nighttime blood pressure is less than 120/70mmHg. If the above criteria are exceeded, it can be diagnosed as hypertension. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can not only comprehensively understand the changes of blood pressure throughout the day, but also provide an accurate basis for the formulation of intervention and treatment plans. It is also the most accurate method to judge the effect of blood pressure control.

NO7: Low blood pressure: Strictly speaking, there is no standard for low blood pressure, and it is often measured by 90/60mmHg, which is not the diagnostic standard for low blood pressure. As long as there are no uncomfortable symptoms and feelings, even if the blood pressure is lower than 90/60mmHg, there is no need to worry. If the blood pressure is too low and there is discomfort such as dizziness, nausea, etc., it is necessary to find out whether other diseases have occurred and treat them in time.

NO8: Senile blood pressure: It is not necessary for the blood pressure of the elderly to be higher, because the damage to blood vessels by high blood pressure will not vary with age. Therefore, the diagnostic standard for hypertension in the elderly is also greater than 140/90mmHg, but for the elderly, especially the elderly, considering factors such as their own vascular aging, the systolic blood pressure should first be controlled below 150mmHg, if it can be tolerated, it should be further controlled Below 140/90mmHg or even 130/80mmHg, there will be greater benefits.

In addition, there are different requirements for some special groups. For example, people with diabetes should control their blood pressure below 130/80mmHg, and young people should control their blood pressure below 120/80mmHg. It will be bigger. When lifestyle intervention fails to control blood pressure to the standard, and taking antihypertensive drugs is necessary, there is nothing to discuss.
