Abstract
Stroke affects people's quality of life because of its high morbidity and mortality. In China, stroke is easily affected by hypertension, and the morbidity of hypertension is rising quickly year by year. However, most of adults who have hypertension do not know about their disease. In the 20th century, researchers focused on the relationship between blood pressure and stroke, and found that hypertension could lead to stroke. The incidence and recurrence of stroke could be decreased through antihypertensive treatment. In the 21th century, researchers gradually transfer their attention to the daily monitoring of blood pressure. The ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reveals that blood pressures during different periods of one day have different correlations with stroke occurrence. Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) provides longtime blood pressure changes. In the future, after the overall monitoring and treatment of hypertension, we believe that we can decrease the overflow of stroke prevalence. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2015.01.003
