Abstract:

In 2004China guidelines, normal blood pressure is defined as less than 16.0/10.6 kPa(120/80 mmHg). Cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damages in patients with hypertension are determined by more indexes, such as low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, intra-abdominal obesity (waist circumference), Creactive protein, microalbuminuria and increase of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT≥0.9 mm). In 2004 China guidelines, goal blood pressure is less than 18.6/12.0 kPa(140/90 mmHg), and in patients with diabetes mellitus or nephropathy it is 17.3/10.6 kPa(130/80 mmHg). In elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension, the goal blood pressure is 20.0/12.0 kPa(150/90 mmHg) or lower.
