As to gain a better understanding of the relation between blood pressure and blood lipids which may provide insight into the mechanisms where by hypertension is associated with increased risk of Coronary Artery Disease and Cerebrovascular disease. The serum lipid profiles (TC,TGL.HDL, VLDL, LDL, TC/ HDL, LDL/ HDL ratios) of 100 hypertensive patients was studied and compared with CVA group with Non-CVA group and IHD group with Non - IHD group .Study group consisted of patients with hypertension as identified by history, clinical examination, and other relevant examinations.
