As long as the World Health Organization and the Chinese Medical Association's diagnostic criteria, regardless of age, regardless of gender, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, can be diagnosed with hypertension.
Many patients with hypertension in clinical and asymptomatic, so in hypertensive patients, only 44.7 percent of people aware of their suffering from hypertension, while taking only 28.2 percent rate, blood pressure control rate of only 8.1 percent.
