Cardiovascular Morbidity And Mortality

INTRODUCTION:Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The incidence of microalbuminuria is more common among hypertensive patients, even in nondiabetic patients. Microalbuminuria is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with essential hypertension. Therefore, current guidelines recommend routine screening of microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients to ensure appropriate interventions are initiated early in the disease process before progression to chronic kidney disease and/or renal failure. AIMS & OBJECTIVES:This study is done to estimate the prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with normoglycemic hypertension and to identify other variables associated with it. MATERIAL & METHODS:In this study, we randomly selected 100 patients with essential hypertension based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. CBC, renal function test, 24-hour urine albumin excretion (UAE), Body mass index (BMI), and arterial blood pressure measurement were done among all selected patients. Data entry was done in Microsoft Ofce Excel and analysis was done using the software package Epi Info (Version 7.1.5) from CDC, Atlanta, U.S.A. OBSERVATIONS & RESULTS: The study was conducted among 100 hypertensive patients out of which 74 were male and 24 were female. Out of 100 patients, microalbuminuria was present in 44 patients. Mean arterial pressure was found high among patients with microalbuminuria than patients without microalbuminuria. The presence of microalbumin in urine was found to increase with the increasing severity of hypertension. Mean body mass index and serum creatinine were found higher in the microalbuminuric group than the normoalbuminuric group. CONCLUSION:The incidence of microalbuminuria is more common among hypertensive patients, even in nondiabetic patients. The presence of microalbuminuria is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with essential hypertension. Screening for microalbuminuria is a relatively simple process, should facilitate early vascular disease detection.

Cardiovascular Morbidity And Mortality

Introduction: Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular diseases. In only 5-10 % of hypertensive patients, underlying cause can be identified (secondary hypertension). Serum uric acid is thought to play a pathogenic role in development of hypertension and is also a commonly associated condition in patients with hypertension. Management of hyperuricemia will ultimately help in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia among hypertensive patients atiending Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital and also to find association between hyperuricemia and socio-demographic variables. Methodology: This was a descriptive hospital based cross-sectional study conducted in 168 hypertensive patients at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital, Nepal for a period of 6 months from 1 September 2020 to 28th February 2021. Sociodemographic variables were recorded and serum uric acid level was obtained based on the pre-structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20 (SPSS 20). Result: Prevalence of hyperuricemia was 42 (25%) among hypertensive patients with more prevalent in male 33 (30.8%) than female 9 (14.8%). Hyperuricemia was more prevalent in patients having higher BMI and patients aged more than 60 years i.e. 38 (34.5%) and 25 (41.7%) respectively. It was more prevalent among patients with hypertension for more than 15 years 10 (41.7%) and non-vegetarian 33 (25.8%). Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with those aged more than 60 years (p=0.002) and BMI >25 kg/m2 (p=0.002). Conclusion: Hyperuricemia was common associated condition among hypertensive patients. Hyperuricemia is mainly associated with male gender, non-vegetarian and patients with longer duration of hypertension. Similarly, it was strongly associated with older age and patients having higher BMI. Monitoring of serum uric acid and management of hyperuricemia might be helpful in management of hypertension and thus decreasing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Increased Risk

Resistant hypertension (RHTN) is defined as uncontrolled office blood pressure (>140/90 mmHg) despite treatment with maximum tolerated doses of three or more antihypertensive agents from at least three different classes, including a diuretic. The prevalence of RHTN is about 8–18% in hypertensive patients and confers greatly increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
