摘要
Hypertension has become a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease(CVD)and premature mortality worldwide,with high prevalence and relatively poor control rate,especially in rural areas.[1]Blood pressure(BP)control in rural areas is the most vulnerable spot in hypertension control and is a key target to reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and total mortality.Medical workers globally have devoted considerable efforts to solving this problem and some progress has been made[Table 1].[2–6]Our recent study proved that a novel,village doctor-led,multifaceted intervention strategy for BP control was an effective,feasible,and safe method for controlling hypertension in rural China.[6]
