CrimeaPRESS reports:
From 25 July ANO «National Priorities» and the Ministry of Health of Russia launch a communication campaign aimed at early diagnosis of arterial hypertension.
Cardiologists warn that this condition often develops without visible symptoms and is a risk factor for deadly heart attacks and strokes. The effectiveness of early detection of arterial hypertension directly depends on the awareness of people. If a person regularly monitors their blood pressure, the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease is reduced.
As noted by Sofia Malyavina, Director General of ANO National Priorities, according to statistics, every second hypertensive patient does not suspect the presence of a dangerous disease. Some mistakenly believe that hypertension is a «disease of the elderly.» According to WHO, over the past three decades, the number of people with arterial hypertension aged over 30 has almost doubled in the world. In Russia, the fight against cardiovascular diseases is one of the priorities of the national project «Health».
According to the Director General of the Academician E.I. Chazov, chief freelance cardiologist of the Ministry of Health of Russia, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Boitsov, arterial hypertension is a leading risk factor for stroke and heart attacks, which put people at risk of becoming disabled or dying. Therefore, the issue of controlling arterial hypertension is the number one problem. Everyone should understand that a person has one health.
Starting from 25 years, absolutely everyone needs to monitor the pressure. If an episode of high blood pressure has happened at least once, checks should become systematic. Normal pressure should not exceed 120 by 80. In case of deviations from the norm, it is important to consult a doctor. A person’s health by 25% depends on his lifestyle. Lifestyle plays a key role in the prevention of arterial hypertension.
