1International Medical Services Ltd., Kardiológiai Szakrendelés.
Insights
Essential hypertension patients frequently have obesity, abnormal cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Many also experience glucose metabolism disorders, with metabolic syndrome affecting 25-30% of this population.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Endocrinology
- Public Health
Background:
- Essential hypertension is a prevalent condition with significant cardiovascular implications.
- Understanding associated risk factors is crucial for effective patient management and prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze cardiovascular risk factors in essential hypertension patients.
- To investigate the interrelationships and co-occurrence rates of these risk factors.
Main Methods:
- A study involving 1476 patients (774 men, 702 women) with essential hypertension.
- Utilized a specialized questionnaire and a risk factor analysis program for data collection and investigation.
Main Results:
- Obesity was found to be highly prevalent and strongly associated with abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Glucose metabolism disorders were present in 44% of the hypertensive patients.
- An estimated 25-30% of the hypertensive population exhibited metabolic syndrome.
Conclusions:
- Obesity, dyslipidemia, and glucose metabolism disorders are common comorbidities in essential hypertension.
- A significant proportion of hypertensive individuals present with metabolic syndrome, highlighting the need for integrated management approaches.
Abstract:
Authors analysed the cardiovascular risk factors, their relationship to each other, the rate of multiple appearance in 1476 patients (774 men, 702 women) with essential hypertension. They produced a special questionnaire and risk factor analysing program for performing static and dynamic investigations on the base of international and domestic experiences. The data of their investigations verified, that the occurrence of obesity is very frequent and is associated with abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride values. The appearance of glucose metabolism disorder was in 44% of patients. The rate of metabolic syndrome can be estimated on 25-30% in the hypertensive population.
