Features: The revision of this book is based on the recent advancements in cardiovascular epidemiology and evidence-based medicine in China, particularly large-scale clinical research on hypertension. It was completed over more than a year, taking into account China's specific characteristics and referencing the 2003 ISH/WHO Hypertension Guidelines and relevant international research findings. The book adheres to the principle of prevention first and combines prevention with treatment. Starting from China's hypertension epidemiological status and practical prevention and treatment realities, it proposes strategies that align with the country's context, targeting the entire population, high-risk groups, and patients. It focuses on controlling risk factors, early diagnosis and treatment, and standardized patient management, while strengthening public health education and community management of hypertension. The goal is to improve awareness, treatment rates, and control rates of hypertension. The book also further clarifies the definition and classification of hypertension. It is not only suitable for healthcare, sanitation, and health care professionals at all levels but also provides guidance for patients and the general public concerned about health. It is hoped that relevant government departments, healthcare institutions, professional organizations, and media will actively promote and disseminate this book. It is also hoped that this book can play an active role in advancing China's hypertension prevention and treatment efforts, curbing the growth trend of cardiovascular diseases, and improving the quality of life and health levels of the Chinese people.
