中新健康丨心血管疾病多发 心血管医生：民众对相关疾病认知不足是挑战
中新网广州5月22日电 (记者 蔡敏婕)心血管疾病作为威胁国人健康的“头号杀手”，近年来发病率持续上升，给个人和社会带来了沉重的负担。对此，专家呼吁，提高公众对心血管疾病及其危险因素的认知水平，加强自我管理，对于预防疾病和提升生活质量至关重要。
据最新数据显示，高血压患病率逐年增加，成为心血管疾病的重要危险因素之一。高血压不仅直接影响心脏功能，还会加速血管老化，增加中风、冠心病等并发症的风险。因此，早期识别和有效控制高血压，对于预防心血管疾病至关重要。
心血管专家指出，尽管近年来公众对心血管疾病的关注有所提高，但仍存在对疾病认知不足的问题。不少民众对高血压的症状和危害认识不够，未能及时采取措施进行预防和治疗。此外，公众对健康生活方式的重视程度也有待提高，如不健康的饮食习惯、缺乏体育锻炼等，都是导致心血管疾病高发的重要原因。
为此，专家建议，公众应加强对心血管疾病的认识，了解其早期症状和危险因素，定期进行健康检查，及时发现并治疗高血压等疾病。同时，应倡导健康生活方式，包括合理膳食、适量运动、戒烟限酒、心理平衡等，以降低心血管疾病的发生风险。
各级医疗机构和健康教育机构也应加强对心血管疾病知识的普及和宣传，提高公众的健康素养，共同构建预防心血管疾病的坚固防线。

China News Service Health | The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has been on the rise, with hypertension becoming a significant risk factor.
Guangzhou, May 22 (China News Service reporter Cai Minjie) Cardiovascular diseases, as the “number one killer” threatening the health of the Chinese people, have seen an increasing incidence over the years, imposing a heavy burden on individuals and society. Experts call for enhancing public awareness of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors, strengthening self-management, and it is crucial for preventing diseases and improving quality of life.
According to the latest data, the prevalence of hypertension is on the rise, becoming an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension not only directly affects heart function but also accelerates vascular aging, increasing the risk of complications such as stroke and coronary heart disease. Therefore, early identification and effective control of hypertension are crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular experts point out that while public awareness of cardiovascular diseases has been on the rise in recent years, there is still a lack of understanding of the diseases. Many people are not fully aware of the symptoms and hazards of hypertension, and do not take timely measures for prevention and treatment. Additionally, the public’s attention to healthy lifestyles also needs to be improved, such as unhealthy dietary habits and lack of physical exercise, which are significant causes of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, experts suggest that the public should strengthen their understanding of cardiovascular diseases, learn about their early symptoms and risk factors, and regularly undergo health checks to discover and treat hypertension and other diseases in a timely manner. At the same time, advocating a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol moderation, and psychological balance, can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Health institutions at all levels and health education agencies should also increase the dissemination and promotion of knowledge about cardiovascular diseases, enhance public health literacy, and jointly build a strong defense against cardiovascular diseases.
