What is basal blood pressure?

baseline blood pressure refers to the blood pressure measured three times on different days without antihypertensive drugs, with systolic blood pressure (high pressure) ≥ 140 mmHg and (or) diastolic blood pressure (low pressure) ≥ 90 mmHg. Attention should be paid to the preparation, measurement method and recording before measurement. Basal blood pressure refers to the blood pressure measured three times on different days without the use of antihypertensive drugs, with systolic blood pressure (high pressure) ≥ 140 mmHg and (or) diastolic blood pressure (low pressure) ≥ 90 mmHg. The following points should be paid attention to in the measurement of basal blood pressure: 1. Avoid strenuous exercise, smoking, drinking alcohol and drinking coffee or strong tea 30 minutes before measurement. 2. 2. Measurement, the patient should remain quiet and relaxed, take a sitting or supine position, arm and heart in the same horizontal line. 3. Each measurement measured at least 2 times, each interval of 1 to 2 minutes. If the two measurements are different, can be measured again. 4. Record the measurements, including systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Basal blood pressure is an important basis for assessing blood pressure levels and diagnosing hypertension. Patients with hypertension should be measured regularly and treated under the guidance of a doctor. Meanwhile, healthy people should also pay attention to their blood pressure and maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as low-salt diet and moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, to prevent the occurrence of hypertension. In addition, for special populations, such as the elderly, pregnant women and children, the measurement and assessment of basal blood pressure may require special consideration. Doctors will choose appropriate measurement methods and assessment criteria according to specific circumstances. In short, basal blood pressure is an important basis for assessing blood pressure levels and diagnosing hypertension. Correct measurement and assessment of basal blood pressure is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.
