About

This is a multi-center, prospective cohort study that collects only diagnostic and therapeutic data in subjects but does not interfere with treatment.

Full description

The study aims to assess blood pressure and lipid levels, the use of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs, and treatment compliance and adverse events in hypertensive outpatients of 30 hospitals of different levels, following them up for 1 and 3 months after treatment, respectively. The study would reveal the compliance of blood pressure and lipid levels in hypertensive patients under management of hospitals at different levels, and analyze factors affecting blood pressure or lipid levels associated with treatment compliance. Therefore, the study would provide clinical data from the real world for future prevention and control of CVD in China.
