Can a man's high blood pressure be passed on to his children?

Hypertension is a common disease. There are many causes of hypertension, which can be divided into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. For primary hypertension, part of it is genetic. Some families have obvious hypertension clustering. For such men, they are likely to pass on their hypertension genes to their children. For such families, they must strengthen prevention in normal times.

This is not certain, but if it is hypertension, there is a certain susceptibility to it. You need to get enough rest, and you can have a normal baby. You can't eat too much greasy food. You need to make a plan according to the specific level of blood pressure.

Antihypertensive drug therapy

1. Types of antihypertensive drugs: ① Diuretics; ② β-receptor blockers; ③ Calcium channel blockers; ④ Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors; ⑤ Angiotensin II receptor blockers.

2. Treatment plan Most patients without complications or comorbidities can use thiazide diuretics, beta-receptor blockers, etc. alone or in combination. Treatment should start with a small dose and gradually increase the dose. In actual clinical use, the patient's cardiovascular risk factors, target organ damage, complications, comorbidities, antihypertensive efficacy, adverse reactions, etc. will affect the choice of antihypertensive drugs. Patients with grade 2 hypertension can be treated with a combination of two antihypertensive drugs from the beginning.

1. Small dose: A smaller effective therapeutic dose should usually be used during initial treatment, and the dose can be gradually increased as needed.

2. Use long-acting preparations as much as possible: Use long-acting drugs that can be taken once a day and have a 24-hour blood pressure-lowering effect to effectively control nighttime blood pressure and morning peak blood pressure, and more effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.

3. Combination therapy: To increase the antihypertensive effect without increasing adverse reactions, two or more antihypertensive drugs can be used in combination therapy when the effect of low-dose single-drug treatment is unsatisfactory. In fact, hypertension above grade 2 often requires combination therapy to achieve the target blood pressure. For patients with blood pressure ≥160/100mmHg or moderate-risk or above, a small dose of two drugs can be used for initial treatment, or a small dose of a fixed compound preparation can be used.

4. Individualization: Choose antihypertensive drugs suitable for patients based on their specific conditions, tolerance, personal wishes or long-term tolerance.

1. Reduce salt intake: Daily salt intake should be less than 5 grams, about half a teaspoon per day.

2. Reasonable diet: The fat intake should be limited. Eat less fatty meat, fried food, animal offal, cakes, sweets, and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, mushrooms, low-fat dairy products, etc.

3. Reasonable weight loss and weight control: The most effective method is to moderate diet, reduce the total calorie intake every day; increase physical activity, including brisk walking, jogging, swimming, etc.
