Academicians call for "three highs and high management" to prevent diseases. Cardiovascular diseases account for the first place in the cause of death among residents in my country.
On the occasion of the 24th World Heart Day, a heart health themed market was held in Yongping District, Hengfu Historical and Cultural District, Shanghai on the 23rd and 24th. The event revealed that there are 245 million hypertensive patients and 400 million dyslipidemia patients in my country. patients, more than 130 million patients with diabetes. Among the causative factors of heart disease, three highs rank first.
Cardiovascular disease is a major threat to public health in our country. According to the "National Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report": cardiovascular disease deaths account for the first place among the total causes of death among urban and rural residents in my country, with the number of cardiovascular diseases reaching 330 million, and the morbidity and mortality rates are still on the rise.
Academician Ge Junbo, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of the Department of Cardiology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and chairman of the Cardiovascular Health Alliance, said: my country has a large number of patients with three highs, and about one in three people has three highs. The coexistence of the three highs is common, and comprehensive management is insufficient. ideal.
The coexistence of the three highs leads to a doubling of the risk of cardiovascular events, resulting in the consequences of "111>3". Research shows that about 62% of patients with hypertension have dyslipidemia, about 66% of patients with dyslipidemia have hypertension, about 60% of patients with type 2 diabetes have hypertension, and about 30% of outpatient diabetes patients also have hypertension. Hypertension and dyslipidemia.
What needs attention is that when hypertension is combined with dyslipidemia, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events is increased by 3 to 4 times; when diabetes is combined with dyslipidemia, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events is increased by about 2 times; when patients with diabetes are combined with hypertension and dyslipidemia, the risk of myocardial infarction will occur The risk increases by 6 times and the risk of stroke increases by nearly 8 times.
Experts say co-management of all three risk factors is better at preventing cardiovascular events than managing just one or two risk factors. However, taking Chinese patients with diabetes as an example, less than 10% of patients have blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar levels that meet the standards at the same time.
It is imperative to comprehensively advocate the "three-high co-management" and strengthen public science education. At present, our country advocates the concept of "whole disease course", which includes standardized paths including screening, diagnosis, risk assessment, hierarchical management, medication guidance, lifestyle guidance, regular follow-up, abnormal situation intervention, health education, and compliance management, starting from the source. Prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and delay the progression of cardiovascular disease.
Ge Junbo said that the focus of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases must be moved forward, focusing on early screening of cardiovascular risk factors, and strengthening the comprehensive management of blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids. At the same time, we will give full play to the power of the grassroots, so that people can receive disease education, prevention, management and other services at their doorsteps, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death, and look forward to the early arrival of the "turning point" of cardiovascular disease.
The market lasted for two days and included popular science boards, convenient self-tests, interactive check-ins, and creative peripherals. It aimed to integrate the popularization of heart health knowledge into an immersive social space and make science popularization more relevant.
