"Doctor, when will the hypertension vaccine be available?" "The hypertension vaccine is on the market, and you really don't have to take medicine with an injection?" In the past two years, this topic has caused a hot discussion on the Internet, and many hospital doctors have also faced the "torture" of being constantly asked questions by patients every day.
The hypertension vaccine is about to be launched, and you don't have to take any more medicine after an injection?
Since the failure of the first vaccine, many scientists have participated in the trial of a hypertension vaccine, but the results are not satisfactory.
In 2012, Liao's team published an article about the antihypertensive vaccine they had developed. In animal tests, the antihypertensive effect is abnormal, and it has a certain protective effect on various organs such as the heart, kidneys, heart and brain.
The listing of hypertension vaccine will become the first hypertension vaccine independently developed by the mainland, and it is also a perfect innovation and breakthrough in the mainland's medical technology.
But it may be slightly different from the rumors you have heard, and Director Liao Yuhua also explained to China News Weekly: At present, the vaccine is still in the pilot sample development stage, has not yet reached the clinical trial stage, and it is expected that it may not be available for marketing in 2026.
Researchers caution everyone: do not over -mythically" hypertension vaccines
Fang Hong, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, also reminded everyone: do not over-mythologize the hypertension vaccine, it is not as magical as everyone imagines. Vaccines are still in the pre-clinical exploration stage, of course, there are many, many problems that have not been reasonably solved.
And the vaccine is a therapeutic vaccine, which is to be applied to people who have already suffered from hypertension, and the effect of preventing hypertension cannot be achieved for the time being. According to the current experimental data, the hypertension vaccine does not have the effect of "one shot cure" for the time being, and it is expected to take 1 to 3 months to strengthen immunity once.
Dr. Fang Hong also reminded everyone that at present, for patients with high blood pressure, it is still necessary to follow the doctor's instructions to take antihypertensive drugs and improve their living and eating styles, which is still a fundamental measure.
The 3 paths to treating hypertension, if you insist on doing it, blood pressure may slowly return to the safety line
1. Improve diet
It is necessary for patients with hypertension to improve their diet, three meals a day should be reasonably arranged, reduce the intake of foods such as high salt, high oil, high sugar, etc., and avoid the increase of harmful substances such as fat in blood vessels, thereby increasing the pressure on blood vessels.
It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables with high potassium content, such as celery, onions, apples, garlic, etc., and cook with less oil and less salt, so that the blood pressure level can be stabilized.
2. Insist on exercise
Hypertensive patients are also very good at exercising properly every day, which is very helpful for stabilizing blood pressure levels, exercise can enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, and can quickly discharge harmful substances in the body.
It is recommended to jogging, brisk walking, cycling, yoga, tai chi, etc. as the main exercise methods, which are aerobic exercises that are conducive to stable blood pressure, which can effectively improve myocardial metabolism and reduce blood pressure levels.
3. Monitor blood pressure
According to data released by the health journal The Lancet, there are nearly 1.3 billion people with hypertension worldwide, so everyone should monitor their blood pressure periodically and detect and treat them early.
First of all, we must understand the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, the current clinical belief, in the premise of not taking antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure is measured 3 times for 3 consecutive days, diastolic ≥ 90mmHg, systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg, you can initially diagnose hypertension patients.
When measuring blood pressure, try to take the right hand blood pressure as the standard, avoid the two blood pressure trough periods of 12 noon and 1 am, you can choose to measure after the morning (6 to 8 am) and before and after dinner (16 to 18 pm) these two peak periods of blood pressure measurement, if the peak period of blood pressure is normal, it means that blood pressure control is better.
Tips:
There are many risk factors for high blood pressure, including heredity, age, and a variety of bad lifestyle habits. Presumably, while advising patients with hypertension to adhere to antihypertensive drugs, doctors should also fundamentally quit bad living and eating habits and establish a correct and healthy lifestyle. #Daily Health Tips ##健康过大年 #
