AbstractWe evaluate the association of hypertension with PD in an Asian population and performed a meta-analysis on similar studies to address the effect of hypertension on PD risk. A matched case-control study involving 1342 Chinese subjects (671 PD and 671 age and gender-matched controls (with a mean age of 63.9 ± 9.7 and 63.5 ± 9.8 years, and identical proportion of gender distribution) was conducted. Hypertension increases PD risk by 1.9 times [OR 1.86 (1.46–2.38)]. The literature search identified 618 studies initially; however, only three matched case-control studies (all in Caucasians) met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Overall analysis showed that hypertension decreases PD risk by 0.2 times [OR 0.80 (0.66–0.96)]. Hypertension increases PD risk by 1.9 times in our Asian population. However, a meta-analysis comprising of Caucasian populations showed a protective effect of hypertension suggesting that ethnic differences or other genetic or environmental factors may contribute to the divergent observation. Early diagnosis and treatment of hypertension may potentially reduce the risk of PD, at least in our population.

Background: Self-reported family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an independent risk factor for future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, inclusion of family history of CVD in the traditional risk scores failed to improve risk prediction of CHD. It is proposed that family history of CVD may substantially increase the risk of CHD among younger individuals. Methods: We conducted a matched case-control study with 170 hospital-based premature CHD patients (<55 years in men and <65 years in women) from a tertiary care centre in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and age and sex matched community-based controls in 1:1 ratio. Conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the independent association of family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature CHD. We estimated McNemar's odds ratios and their 95 percent confidence intervals. Results: The prevalence of any family history of CVD and CHD in the control population was 24% and 21%, respectively. The family history of CVD was independently associated with premature CHD (odds ratio (OR) = 9.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.7–17.3). There was a dose-response relationship between family history and premature CHD as the risk increased linearly with increase in number of affected family members. Conclusions: Family history of CVD is an independent risk factor for premature CHD. The risk of premature CHD increases linearly with increase in number of affected family members. Collecting family history beyond parental history of CVD is important for risk stratification. Targeting young individuals with family history of CVD for intensive risk reduction interventions may help to prevent future events.

This study aims to find the role of modifiable risk faktors toward the association between hypertension and coronary heart disease in RSUP DR. M. Djamil Padang, in 2016This match case control study was conducted from Desember 2014 to April 2015. We studied 171 samples with 1:2 ratio between the case and the control. Samples are collection using simple random sampling by matching the age and sex. Data through the medical record (secondary data) in RSUP DR. M. Djamil. Bivariate analysis showed that hypertension had OR=16,04 (95%CI 5.705-45.12), obesitas had OR=2.53 (95%CI 1.321-4.844), and hyperusrisemia had OR 2.41 (95%CI 1.292-4.516. Multivariate modeling showed that hyperurisemia had a confounder between assosiated hypertension and Coronary heart disease. Multivariate modeling showed hypertension had the highest risk to coronary heart disease. Obesity and hyperurisemia were associated between hypertension and coronary heart disease. Hypertension were considered as determinant of coronary heart disease. People are expected to manage their blood pressure to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease.
