Abstract:
To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified termination hypertension dietary therapy program by comparing and analyzing the improvement of blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose in hypertensive patients who received copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified termination hypertension dietary therapy intervention. We selected 160 cases of hypertensive patients from July 2022 to March 2024 for the study. They were divided into 80 cases in the comparison group and 80 cases in the observation group according to whether or not they underwent copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified dietary therapy for termination of hypertension. In the comparison group, conventional Chinese dietary therapy with improved termination of hypertension was used, and in the observation group, copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese dietary therapy with improved termination of hypertension (DASH) was used on the basis of the comparison group. Differences in vitamin D, Homocysteine and serum calcium levels, blood pressure, blood glucose and lipid levels were compared between the 2 groups. The decreases of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose in the observation group were greater than those in the comparison group; the decreases of blood pressure and BMI in the observation group were greater than those in the comparison group. The difference in comparison was statistically significant (P-value < 0.05). After the intervention, the improvement of homocysteine, vitamin D, serum calcium, albumin, hemoglobin and transferrin in the observation group was greater than that in the comparison group, and the difference was statistically significant (P-value < 0.05). Copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified termination of hypertension dietary therapy in hypertensive patients has a better effect, can effectively improve the patient's blood glucose and lipid levels, improve the nutritional status of the patient, can be promoted in the rehabilitation management of hypertension.

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
