As the most common chronic disease, hypertension is known as the "silent killer of health"!
High blood pressure is when blood flows through the arteries, exerting more pressure on the walls of the blood vessels than normal, and a state of high blood pressure can lead to damage to the heart, brain, kidneys and other vital organs, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and chronic kidney disease.
High blood pressure is generally divided into two categories: primary hypertension and secondary hypertension.
Essential hypertension, also known as "essential hypertension", is the most common type, accounting for about 90-95% of people with hypertension. Essential hypertension usually does not have a clear ** and is caused by a combination of complex factors.
Hypertension is a common chronic disease that is very common among the Chinese population, and according to the latest data, the number of hypertensive patients in China is worrying.
According to a report by the Chinese Health Commission, by the end of 2020, China had 2400 million hypertensive patients, this number is equivalent to 17% of the total Chinese population, almost one in every 6 people with hypertension, at the same time, hypertension has also become one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Why are there more and more people with high blood pressure in China?
The first point: with the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of economic development, people's lifestyles have changed dramatically, and the modern pace of life has made many people in a high-stress work environment, sitting for a long time at work, lack of exercise and physical exercise, which are the causes of high blood pressure.
The second point: In recent years, with the popularity of Western-style fast food, high-sugar, high-salt and high-fat foods in China, people are more inclined to consume too much salt and unhealthy fats, and this unbalanced dietary Xi has led to weight gain, increased cholesterol and higher blood pressure, thereby increasing the incidence of hypertension.
The third point: stress is also an important reason for the increase in hypertension patients, the competitive pressure and work burden of modern society make many people in a long-term state of tension, lack of adequate rest and relaxation, long-term mental stress will lead to vasoconstriction, which leads to hypertension.
The hypertension vaccine is about to be marketed, and you don't need to take blood pressure medication if you get an injection?
Hypertension vaccine
Hypertension vaccine is a novel biologic for the prevention and control of hypertension, which consists of a variety of components, including antigens and auxiliary substances.
The main components of the hypertension vaccine are specific antigens, which are extracted from the body fluids of hypertensive patients, such as plasma or cells, and scientists have carefully screened and processed them to obtain specific antigens that can trigger an immune response, which are usually proteins, peptides, or other biological macromolecules associated with high blood pressure.
Hypertension vaccines also contain auxiliary substances that work to enhance the immune response and help antigens to be better recognized and attacked by the immune system, auxiliary substances are usually low-toxicity compounds that can activate key cells of the immune response, such as dendritic cells and T cells, these substances can be short-chain lipopeptides, polypeptides, low molecular weight polysaccharides, etc.
Do you don't need to take medicine if you get a high blood pressure vaccine?
In recent years, the topic of hypertension vaccines has begun to attract widespread attention, and many people are curiously asking, "Do I don't need to take medicine if I get a shot of hypertension vaccine?" However, it's not that simple.
First of all, we need to understand that hypertension is a chronic disease that often requires long-term treatment and management, and that the concept of a hypertension vaccine is based on studies of immunity against hypertension.
The goal of these vaccines is to reduce or block the factors that cause high blood pressure by boosting the immune system. While some preliminary research suggests that hypertension vaccines may have some effect on lowering blood pressure, to date, there is no reliable evidence that they can completely replace traditional medications**.
Everyone's physical condition and degree of illness is different, and while the hypertension vaccine may be effective for some people, it may not work as well for others, so it is not possible to generalize that the hypertension vaccine can completely stop the medication**.
Further research is needed on the safety and long-term efficacy of hypertension vaccines, and while there are currently no reports of severe hypertension vaccines, we still need more clinical trials and long-term follow-up data to determine their safety and efficacy.
Conclusion:
For people with high blood pressure, medications are still the mainstay, and it is essential to control blood pressure in combination with a healthy lifestyle and dietary Xi.
