Hypertension is a common chronic disease, and according to the report of the National Health Commission, the prevalence of hypertension in China is indeed very high, reaching 335%。Considering the large Chinese population, this means that the number of hypertensive patients has exceeded 300 million, and according to the rounding method, one in every 5 people is likely to be hypertensive in 1.5 billion people.
After a diagnosis of hypertension, doctors usually recommend long-term antihypertensive medication with regular follow-up and monitoring, because hypertension is a chronic condition that requires long-term management and control.
Recently, there has been news on the Internet about "hypertension vaccine is about to go on the market", and some people even say that healthy people who have received this vaccine will never get high blood pressure again, and people with high blood pressure can say goodbye to blood pressure drugs after they are vaccinated
Hypertension vaccine
The hypertension vaccine is a preventive measure against the disease of high blood pressure, also known as the "healthy silent chronic disease", is a common cardiovascular disease characterized by long-term elevated blood pressure that can easily lead to serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, etc.
As the incidence of high blood pressure is increasing year by year, scientists have been looking for ways to prevent and control the disease, and one of them is the hypertension vaccine.
At present, most hypertension vaccines use genetic engineering technology to use synthetic peptides or proteins to induce the body to produce antibodies to prevent hypertension.
The mechanism of action of the hypertension vaccine is mainly twofold.
First, the vaccine allows the body to produce a specific immune response, enhancing the immune system's ability to recognize and remove high blood pressure** substances.
Secondly, the vaccine can also regulate the body's immune response, reduce the inflammatory response of the blood vessel wall, and reduce the release of vasoconstrictors, thereby achieving the effect of lowering blood pressure.
However, it should be noted that hypertension vaccines are still in the research and development stage and are not widely available in clinical practice.
After getting the "high blood pressure vaccine", can I skip taking medicine?
Currently, there is no vaccine for high blood pressure worldwide.
Hypertension is a chronic disease that occurs due to a variety of factors such as genetic factors, lifestyle, dietary Xi, and other health problems, so it is obviously unrealistic to solve hypertension with only one vaccine.
Secondly, the concept of a hypertension vaccine may stem from a misunderstanding of vaccines, which work by activating the body's immune system and improving the body's resistance to specific pathogens, thereby preventing the corresponding diseases.
However, hypertension is not an infectious disease caused by a pathogen, but a chronic health problem caused by elevated blood pressure, therefore, vaccines do not directly target hypertension for prevention and**.
Thirdly, even with the so-called hypertension vaccine, it is not a complete substitute for medicine**.
The 5 major dangers of high blood pressure must be known!
The first one: high blood pressure will increase the burden on the heart, long-term high blood pressure will lead to overload of the heart, so that the heart will continue to increase its strength to promote blood circulation, thereby accelerating heart fatigue and even causing heart failure.
Second: high blood pressure will damage blood vessels, due to the continuous increase in blood pressure, the blood vessel wall will be diseased, so that the blood vessels become stiff and narrow, reducing the elasticity and permeability of blood vessels, which will cause poor blood circulation, prone to thrombosis, arteriosclerosis and other complications.
Third: high blood pressure will increase the risk of stroke, long-term high blood pressure will lead to damage to cerebral blood vessels, so that blood vessels are narrowed or blocked, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, and then cause stroke, according to statistics, high blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for stroke.
Fourth: high blood pressure will affect kidney function, high blood pressure will lead to glomerular damage, which will cause renal insufficiency and even kidney failure, high blood pressure will also increase the burden on the kidneys, so that urine discharge is not smooth, easy to breed bacteria, causing urinary tract infections and other diseases.
Fifth: high blood pressure will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure will cause arteriosclerosis, make the intima of blood vessels rough, easy to form atheromatosis, thereby causing coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases.
