H-type hypertension may be unfamiliar to many friends, but hypertension is well-known and very familiar to everyone. We are surrounded by people with hypertension in our daily lives, often seen in elderly and obese individuals. However, in daily life, patients with hypertension have a very serious diet. They cannot eat too much, nor can they eat anything greasy or greasy, and they also need to eat less oil and salt... It feels like they can't eat anything, how hard it is. So, what are the diagnostic criteria for H-type hypertension?
The diagnostic criteria for H-type hypertension are having both of the following conditions: first, meeting the diagnostic criteria for primary hypertension; The second is an increase in blood Hcy. Among them, the main causes of primary hypertension are genetic factors, diet, high sodium and low potassium diet, long-term mental stress, high pressure state, obesity, and oral contraceptives. The main reasons for the increase in Hcy are insufficient intake of vitamins B6, B12 and folate, genetic factors, and a diet rich in methionine protein.
There is a certain difference between H-type hypertension and ordinary hypertension. In hypertensive patients, if the homocysteine (HCY) in the blood is higher than or equal to 10umol/L, it can be called H-type hypertension. Most hypertensive patients in our country have H-type hypertension. However, H-type hypertension is the most aggressive, with a stroke incidence five times higher than simple hypertension and 25-30 times higher than normal individuals.
H-type hypertension refers to hypertension combined with high homocysteine levels, and the two work together. Studies have shown that H-type hypertension patients have two risk factors, namely hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia, which increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by about 12 times in men and 28 times in women. If the concentration of homocysteine in the blood exceeds 10umol/L, it can cause harm to blood vessels, leading to the formation of cerebral infarction and blood clots that block blood vessels. This also indicates that hypertension is prone to the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Hypertension is a chronic disease, and in general, the treatment of hypertension is through medication. Control your diet to be rich in methionine protein and supplement with foods rich in folate and vitamin B12. You can eat more kiwifruit, spinach, soybeans, etc.
H-type hypertension is more harmful than ordinary hypertension. So for the treatment of H-type hypertension, it is not enough to just take antihypertensive tablets like regular hypertension, and it is also necessary to supplement folic acid appropriately. In fact, the key to controlling H-type hypertension is to lower blood pressure and reduce Hcy, improve lifestyle, and actively seek medication treatment. There is also a need to intervene and treat itself and related cardiovascular risk factors that can be altered to a large extent.
