Cardiovascular disease is the number-one killer of national health in China. According to data from the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, in China, the prevalence of hypertension among residents aged 18 and above is 27.5%, in other words, about 1 in 4 adults suffers from hypertension, and the number of patients is approximately 245 million.
“Three highs”, namely, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, rank first among the risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There is one patient with “three highs” among about three people, and more than 50% of the patients with “three highs” do not have any symptoms, and there is a trend that patients are getting younger.
Early screening of cardiovascular risk factors is the main method to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, therefore, it is indispensable to take the examination of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat.
The examination of blood fat mainly includes four items: triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
It is dyslipidemia if one of the first three items goes up or the fourth goes down. They tend to deposit on blood vessel walls if total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein goes up, which will cause damage to vascular endothelial cells, resulting in atherosclerosis, and also increase blood coagulation tendency and increase the likelihood of thrombus formation, so it is easy to cause a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as elevated blood pressure, stroke, myocardial infarction, etc. In addition, it can also bring about fatty liver and obesity.
Blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, and electrocardiogram are also indispensable in routine physical examination items. They can help people detect diseases of blood, kidney, digestive system at an early stage, and timely detection of heart arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia and other problems, and detect in time whether the heart has problems, such as arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, etc.
