L\u2019ipertensione, nota anche come pressione alta, \u00e8 una condizione medica che colpisce quasi 120 milioni di adulti negli Stati Uniti e un adulto su tre a livello globale.<\/p>\n

Un nuovo rapporto dell' Organizzazione mondiale della sanit\u00e0 <\/a>(OMS) ha affermato che, pur essendo una condizione curabile, quattro persone su cinque nel mondo affette da ipertensione non ricevono cure adeguate.<\/p>\n

Il rapporto ha rivelato che il numero di persone che soffrono di ipertensione \u00e8 raddoppiato, passando da 650 milioni nel 1990 all\u2019incredibile cifra di 1,3 miliardi nel 2019. Afferma inoltre che l\u2019aspetto pi\u00f9 preoccupante di questa drastica crescita \u00e8 che quasi la met\u00e0 degli individui non era consapevole della propria condizione, rendendo difficile per loro ricevere interventi e cure mediche precoci.<\/p>\n

Le statistiche hanno mostrato che pi\u00f9 di 75% di adulti con ipertensione risiedono in paesi a basso e medio reddito, sottolineando l\u2019urgente necessit\u00e0 di un accesso equo all\u2019assistenza sanitaria. I funzionari sanitari hanno affermato che se i paesi riuscissero ad aumentare la copertura, si potrebbero prevenire 76 milioni di decessi da qui al 2050.<\/p>\n

Cos'\u00e8 l'ipertensione?<\/strong><\/p>\n

L'ipertensione \u00e8 una condizione comune che colpisce le arterie del corpo. Avere la pressione alta significa che il sangue che spinge contro le pareti delle arterie \u00e8 costantemente pi\u00f9 alto del normale, il che fa s\u00ec che il cuore lavori di pi\u00f9 per pompare il fluido vitale.<\/p>\n

L'unico modo per sapere se soffri di pressione alta \u00e8 avere un test della pressione sanguigna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

La pressione sanguigna viene misurata in millimetri di mercurio (mm Hg). In generale, per ipertensione si intende una pressione sanguigna pari a 140\/90 millimetri di mercurio (mm Hg) o superiore.<\/p>\n

L\u2019ipertensione pu\u00f2 essere pericolosa poich\u00e9 i sintomi possono non essere diagnosticati e non manifestarsi per anni, portando a condizioni pi\u00f9 gravi come ictus, attacchi di cuore, insufficienza cardiaca, danni ai reni e molte altre complicazioni di salute.<\/p>\n

Mentre fattori come la genetica e l\u2019invecchiamento influenzano il rischio di ipertensione, aspetti modificabili come una dieta ricca di sale, l\u2019inattivit\u00e0 fisica e il consumo eccessivo di alcol svolgono un ruolo significativo nell\u2019aumentare il rischio di ipertensione.<\/p>\n

\u00c8 fondamentale sottolineare che la diagnosi precoce e la gestione efficiente dell'ipertensione sono tra gli interventi pi\u00f9 convenienti in ambito sanitario.<\/p>\n

Fabbricazione aggiustamenti dello stile di vita<\/a> come consumare una dieta pi\u00f9 sana, smettere di fumare e aumentare l\u2019attivit\u00e0 fisica possono aiutare in modo significativo a ridurre la pressione sanguigna.<\/p>\n

Tuttavia, alcuni individui potrebbero averne bisogno farmaci<\/a> per regolare efficacemente l\u2019ipertensione e prevenire le complicanze ad essa correlate.<\/p>\n

\u201cL\u2019ipertensione pu\u00f2 essere controllata efficacemente con regimi terapeutici semplici e a basso costo, eppure solo circa una persona su cinque con ipertensione l\u2019ha controllata\u201d, ha affermato il dottor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, direttore generale dell\u2019OMS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI programmi di controllo dell\u2019ipertensione rimangono trascurati, a cui viene data poca priorit\u00e0 e ampiamente sottofinanziati. Il rafforzamento del controllo dell\u2019ipertensione deve far parte del percorso di ogni Paese verso una copertura sanitaria universale, basata su sistemi sanitari ben funzionanti, equi e resilienti, costruiti sulle fondamenta dell\u2019assistenza sanitaria di base\u201d, ha aggiunto.<\/p>\n

L\u2019OMS ha riferito che i benefici economici derivanti dal miglioramento dei programmi di trattamento dell\u2019ipertensione superano i costi in un rapporto di circa 18 a 1.<\/p>\n

La pressione sanguigna \u00e8 tra quegli argomenti di cui \u00e8 \u201cpoco attraente parlare\u201d in quanto \u00e8 estremamente comune e anche perch\u00e9 le persone generalmente non ne avvertono sintomi evidenti, afferma il dottor Gregory Katz, cardiologo presso la NYU Langone Heart e assistente professore presso l'Universit\u00e0 di New York.
