Patient's question:
What is the difference between installment payments and stratification for high blood pressure? Are there any books or references that can be used for this? Or would it be better to consult a doctor directly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, hypertension is classified into three levels based on blood pressure levels, and it is divided into low-risk, medium-risk, high-risk, and very high-risk types based on the number of patient risk factors. If hypertension is detected, it is recommended to promptly visit the cardiology department for follow-up. You can consult with a cardiology doctor, and if the blood pressure level is relatively high, while lifestyle improvements are being made, oral antihypertensive medication is necessary.
