高血压

Medical Conditions

高血压（英语：High blood pressure 或 Hypertension），是一种动脉血压升高的慢性病。血压的升高使心脏推动血液在血管内循环时的负担增大。 血压有两种，收缩压（systolic）和舒张压（diastolic），分别为心脏跳动时肌肉收缩或舒张时的测量值。正常静息血压范围为收缩压100-139 mmHg（最高读数）和舒张压60-89 mmHg（最低读数）。血压持续等于或高于140/90 mmHg 时则为高血压。...

慢性静脉疾病

Medical Conditions

血液经过全身循环后由静脉运送回心脏。长时间站立或坐和重力的作用会导致下肢静脉血管扩张。正常情况下，静脉管壁能够抵抗这种压力。然而，当静脉管壁脆弱时，静脉血管就会扩张，导致血液回流致心脏更加困难，这种情况被称为静脉循环不良。 随着时间延长，病情越来越严重，可能发生合并症，此时就被称为慢性静脉疾病。 每10人就有8人患有慢性静脉疾病。虽然女性更有可能遭受这种情况，但是男性也可能受到影响。静脉会随着年龄的增长而失去弹性，并且容易收缩，因此症状也会随着年龄的增长而增加。 症状： 1）腿部感觉沉重 2）腿部肿胀，特别是脚踝和小腿周围...
