Abstract

Hypertension and its cardiovascular complications can produce many serious problems for the health of Chinese residents, therefore, affect quality of the population. About a century ago, the research and treatment of hypertension were still in primary stage. Despite the material and cultural resources were extremely limited, modern Chinese medical scientists performed blood pressure surveys of different populations in China. Besides, they carried out researches on epidemiology and mechanisms of hypertension, as well as clinical trials. At the same time, substantive pioneering work was done in medical education and the spread of popular science. A large number of textbooks on physiology or internal medicine were translated, and popular science books such as the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension were published. These works opened the prelude to the research, prevention and treatment of hypertension in China.
