AbstractBackground: Nowadays, hypertension is prevalent in middle aged persons. Patients with hypertension are known to have cognitive dysfunction and, therefore, may be vulnerable for post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) also. Intra-operative hypotension is documented to be associated with cognitive decline in hypertensive patients. Materials and Methods: A prospective pilot study was conducted in 30 hypertensive (Group H) and 30 non-hypertensive (Group N) patients, aged 40-59 years, undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia to estimate the incidence of early POCD in known hypertensive patients and compared with non-hypertensive patients. All patients underwent a “Neuro-psychological Test Battery” to assess cognitive function on preoperative day and on 7th postoperative day. A standard anaesthesia protocol was followed. Vasopressor boluses were used to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) within 20% of the baseline value in both groups. Results: The incidence of POCD was 23.3% in hypertensive patients and 20% in non-hypertensive patients. The vasopressor boluses used to maintain blood pressure was more in hypertensive patients (P = 0.041). Consequently, hypertensive patients had a significantly higher minimal MAP (P = 0.001) and a lower fractional minimal MAP (P = 0.011) compared to non-hypertensive patients. No significant correlation was observed between fractional minimal MAP and occurrence of POCD. Conclusion: This pilot trial shows that the incidence of early POCD in middle aged hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients are similar after general anaesthesia.

The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of giving hydrotherapi foot soak in hypertensive patients. The study was conducted with one group pretestposttest design without a control group by measuring blood pressure (pretest) before being given an intervention in the form of foot soak hydrotherm against 15 people with hypertension in Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana Subregency. Then do the blood pressure measurement again (posttest) after finishing the intervention. After the study was completed, the results showed that before the hydrotherapi foot bath intervention, there were 0% of patients classified as normal, 13.32% in prehypertension category, 60.08% in hypertension category I and 26.60% in hypertension category II. After the intervention was given, there were 13.32% of the patients classified as normal, 66.68% in the prehypertension category, 20.00% in the first category of hypertension and no patients belonging to the second grade hypertension category. There is a decrease of 20-30 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 0-10 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure after intervention. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the hydrotherapi foot bath is effectively used to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana District.

Long Term Treatment

Early combination therapy is more effective for hypertension control in high-risk patients than monotherapy, and current guidelines recommend the use of either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) for first-line therapy in patients younger than 55 years. Recent evidence shows that ACEIs reduce mortality, whereas ARBs show no apparent benefit despite their blood pressure lowering action. However, it is important to consider which blood pressure parameters should be targeted given that different drugs have distinct effects on key parameters. Remarkably, a high percentage of hypertensive patients whose treatment has brought these parameters within target ranges still remain at high risk of cardiovascular disease due to additional risk factors. Combination therapy with synergistic effects on blood pressure and metabolic control should thus be considered for the long-term treatment of hypertensive patients with co-morbid conditions.

Penatalaksanaan farmakologis dan non farmakologis dipercaya dapat mengontrol tekanan darah dan mencegah komplikasi, tetapi banyak pasien hipertensi tekanan darahnya tidak terkontrol. Hal tersebut dikarenakan kepatuhan yang buruk dalam melaksanakan rekomendasi gaya hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis determinan faktor yang berhungan dengan kepatuhan melaksanakan rekomendasi modifikasi gaya hidup. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross-sectional di pukesmas dinoyo Kota Malang tahun 2019. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan Consecutive Sampling. Kuesioner yang digunakan meliputi : karakteristik demografi, pengetahuan dan rekomendasi mofifikasi gaya hidup pasien hipertensi. Hubungan antara rekomendasi modifikasi gaya hidup dengan variabel independen dianalisis menggunakan uji chi square dan analisis regresi logistik. 140 pasien hipertensi berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini (60 laki-laki, 80 wanita). Prevalensi kepatuhan adalah 28,6 %. Tingkat pengetahuan berhubungan signifikan  dengan kepatuhan melaksanakan rekomendasi gaya hidup (p=0,00). Jenis kelamin, usia, dan tingkat pendidikan tidak mempunyai hubungan signifikan dengan kepatuhan rekomendasi modifikasi gaya hidup (p= 0,06; p=0,21; p=0,87). Pengetahuan mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepatuhan rekomendasi modifikasi gaya hidup. Management of pharmacological and non-pharmacological is believed to control blood pressure and prevent complications,  but many hypertensive patients have uncontrolled blood pressure. This is due to poor adherence to recommended lifestyle modifications. This study was aimed to determine the factors associated with adherence to recommended lifestyle modifications of hypertensive patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Pukesmas Dinoyo Malang in 2019. Consecutive Sampling was used to select study subjects. The questionnaire included information about demographic characteristics, knowledge, practice of lifestyle-modification measures. Associations between adherence to lifestyle modification and independent variables were analyzed using chi square and multivariate logistic regression analysis. 140 hypertensive patients participated in the study (60 men, 80 women). The prevalence of adherence was 28.6%. The level of knowledge was significant associated with adherence to recommended lifestyle modifications (p = 0.00). Genders , age, and educational level were no significant associated with to recommended lifestyle modifications (p= 0.06; p=0.21; p=0.87). Knowledge was significant associated with adherence to recommended lifestyle modifications of hypertensive patients.

Objective: To evaluate the results of treatment achieved blood pressure goal (BP goal) and results of hypertensive patient management. Subjects and methods: A study of 400 hypertensive patient intervention, treatment and management after 2 year. To assess the results of BP target, monitor the use of medicines, the situation of hospitalization and complications of stroke. Results: Treatment: -100% of patients using diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), 33% of patients using angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), 46.25% of patients using calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and 19.5% of patients using beta-blocker. After 24 months of treatment: 50.5% of patients using 1 antihypertensive drug, 22% of patients using 2 drugs, 20.5% of patients using 3 drugs and 7% of patients taking more than 3 drugs. After 24 months of treatment: 91.75% achieved BP target and 8.25% fail. -Average risk stratification: 97.32% achieved BP target, hight risk stratification: 95.91% and very hight risk stratification: 73.03%. After 24 months of treatment. -Stage 1: 88.48% achieved BP target, stage 2: 92.85% achieved BP target and stage 3: 71.08% achieved BP target. After 24 months of treatment. -Hypertesive results before treatment were: 159.80 ± 20,22mmHg average systolic blood pressure and 82.97 ± 5,82mmHg average diastolic blood pressure. After treatment: average systolic blood pressure 125.38 ± 6,88mmHg and average diastolic blood pressure 79.83 ± 1,79mmHg. No adverse change in the index of tests about lipidemia, liver, kidney, glucomia and no recorded cases of drug side effects. Management of patients: -There were 89% non-medical examinational patients 1 month, 5.25% non-medical examinational patients 2 months, 4.25% non-medical examinational patients 3 months and 1.5% non-medical examinational patients 4 months. There were 93.5% drop pill 1 month, 3.25% drop pill 2 months, 4.25% drop pill 3 months and no patient drop pill over 3 months. In 24 months follow-up, 47% hospitalized inpatients <5 times, 44.5% hospitalized inpatients 5-10 times, 3% hospitalized inpatients 11-15 times, 4.75% hospitalized inpatients from 16-20 times and 0.75% hospitalized inpatients > 20 times. -There were 32.75% hospitalized inpatients for reasons of hypertension and 63.75% hospitalized inpatients for other common diseases. -There were a total of 11592 contacts directly by phone for medical advice, medical reminders and examinational reminders during 24 months of management. -There were 0.5% of patients stroked during 24 months of treatment and management. Conclusion: Treatment by protocol and management by phone directly for medical taking and re-examinational reminders is the best resulted method of achieving blood pressure target and reducing complications of stroke for hypertensive patients.
