summary

Hypertension used to be an old-age disease, but now it has gradually become younger. One of my colleagues has hypertension, and it is still H-type hypertension. I would like to explain the meaning of H-type hypertension to you.

What does H-type hypertension mean

First of all, H-type hypertension is primary hypertension with hyperhomocysteinemia. According to the data of a study conducted by Professor Li Jianping of the first hospital of Peking University in six cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenyang, Harbin and Xi'an), type H hypertension accounts for about 75% of the adult patients with hypertension in China (91% male and 60% female).

Secondly, hyperhomocysteinemia is characterized by high blood Hcy level, which is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis. It is closely related to peripheral vascular disease and cerebrovascular disease, hypertension and hypertensive heart disease, coronary artery occlusion and thrombosis. Many studies have found that Hcy can damage vascular endothelial cells, cause vascular structural changes, and lead to vascular dysfunction. The appearance of high blood pressure means that there is a condition in the blood, which affects the health of the body. We must treat it as soon as possible.

Finally, vascular endothelial high Hcy metabolites affect smooth muscle cells, leading to vascular dysfunction and hypertension; Hcy in vivo metabolism produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is a strong antioxidant and vasodilator factor. In hyperhomocysteinemia, inhibition of cystathionine - γ - synthetase (CSE) can reduce the production of H2S, thus causing hypertension and vascular diseases.

matters needing attention

Hypertension patients must go to the hospital to find out the cause of disease, check whether there is diabetes, heart and kidney damage or related diseases, and take medicine according to the law, stable blood pressure. Keep a good mood, don't eat greasy food, and take medicine on time, don't eat some stimulating food.
