Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Systemic hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular disease affecting humans throughout the world. The endothelium is a favorite early target of cardio-vascular risk factors in cardiovascular diseases like hypertension. The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the biochemical and blood profile amongst hypertensive subjects. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional, descriptive, prospective study of assessment of endothelial dysfunction in young patients of systemic hypertension. Subjects fasted for at least 8 hours before the study and they were studied in a quiet, temperature-controlled room. The required biochemical and blood investigations were performed amongst all the subjects using standard protocol. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and percentage of all the information was obtained. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Out of the total 50 subjects, there were 39 males and 11 females. Majority of subjects were between 31-35 years of age. There were 89.7% (n=35) euglycemic males and 90.9% (n = 10) euglycemic females. Serum cholesterol level was normal i.e. less than 200 mg/dl amongst 76.92% (n=30) males and 72.7% (n=8) females. Conclusion: From the study it can be concluded that majority of hypertensive subjects have normal glucose levels i.e. they were euglycemic.
