Description
This course provides a comprehensive exploration into the diagnosis and management of hypertension, focusing on risk factor assessment, stratification, and the impact of hypertension on target organs. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the clinical guidelines, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic strategies essential for effectively managing hypertension and preventing associated organ damage.
Objectives
Understanding Hypertension: Define hypertension, explore its epidemiology, and discuss its clinical significance in modern healthcare.
Diagnostic Criteria: Learn the criteria and methods for accurately diagnosing hypertension, including ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and home blood pressure monitoring.
Risk Factor Identification: Identify and assess common risk factors associated with hypertension, such as age, gender, family history, lifestyle factors (diet, exercise), and comorbidities (diabetes, hyperlipidemia).
Risk Stratification: Apply risk stratification models to categorize patients based on their cardiovascular risk profiles, guiding personalized treatment approaches.
