Old People Needs to Prevent " Early Morning Blood Pressure Top"
Every early morning old people (having high blood pressure or not) enter into "dangerous area". Sharp increase of blood pressure after waking up results in "Early Morning Blood Pressure Top" situation increasing 70% of danger to serious complications such as brain blood vessel accident, thrombosis coronary.
Brain blood vessel accident has been increasing in some Asian countries.
Brain blood vessel accident (BBVA) is a seriously pathological situation that is often met at old people. BBVA is at the top rate of death in brain disease and second rate in heart disease. BBVA sometimes causes disablement of patients creating a burden to the society.
According to statistical figures, a tendency of increase of BBVA is taking place in several Asian countries, especially in China , Japan and Taiwan . So prevention of first -time BBVA as well as of repeated BBVA is an important therapeutic target in all countries of the world, in which control of blood pressure increase is a top imperative demand. As blood pressure increase is the major reason causing BBVA, good control of blood pressure increase is not easy to medical work.
Variation in blood pressure level within 24 hours
Blood pressure is a varied quantity and always conforms to its own specific rule. Blood pressure decreases in sleep and promptly increase upon waking up. For normal people, blood pressure top of systole or diastole is often 20mmHg higher than blood pressure top in sleep and 10mmHg higher than blood pressure top in the afternoon. On this everyday variation, blood pressure is still under the influence of, even sometimes very strong, body operations and emotions. Moreover, besides everyday variation, there are still weekly variation with top rate of blood pressure in working days and seasonal variation with top rate of blood pressure in cold season. The variation of blood pressure much accelerates for those who have hypertension.
For hypertension patients, early morning is the most dangerous time.
According to a research on 2003 on a community of Asian people, old people who have high blood pressure upon waking up are easy to get BBVA or other cardiovascular complications. It is able to know the blood pressure increase by testing blood pressure at home. When blood pressure rate is over 140/90mmHg in the morning, it is needed to have medicine having continuous effect within 24 hours to decrease blood pressure. That is medicine of Angiotesin II (Micardis).
The essential thing is to protect heart in early morning
Old people who have high blood pressure can remain their good lives at ages 70, 80 even 90. Besides controlling high blood pressure by having medicine continuously, old people have to control the dangerous time of top rate of blood pressure in early morning . Upon waking up, in spite of night or day, old people should lie on the bed at the same position about 3-5 minute before getting up. It is better if they can breathe lightly. In that way, body can gradually get used to the demand of quick increase of circulatory system. Heart and brain have enough oxygen preventing emergent cardiovascular accidents.
As recent conclusion of World Health Organization: "BBVA can be prevented effectively". Therefore, prevention of BBVA becomes the main target in many countries of the world. Besides the intervention to reduce pathogenous factors, prevention of "Early morning top rate of blood pressure" is an important measure in the plan of BBVA prevention.
