Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Hypertension is leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India, End organ damage is most common cause of morbidity leading to mortality. Strokes,myocardial infarction, renal failure are the commonest manifestation of end organ damage in patients with hypertension.Early detection and treatment of hypertension and tight control will help to reduce this morbidity and mortality. Hypertension goes asymptomatic in most of the patients .Very few studies are available to assess the end organ damage at the time of detection or diagnosis of hypertension. Hence an attempt to study the status of end organ damage (EOD) in newly detected hypertensive individuals. Method and Material: A cross sectional study of 200 newly detected Hypertension patients were studied clinically and biochemically and assessed with respect to end organ damage. Results: Of the 200 newly detected hypertensive patients, 76% were males and 24% females.70% were in age group 40-65 years. Hypertension was incidentally detected in 62% cases.48% of patients were having some form of EOD.Renal involvement was most common followed by Heart, CNS and Retinal involvement. Conclusions: There is high incidence of EOD in newly detected Hypertension patients, early detection, education, treatment and tight control with regular follow up will help to reduce the burden of EOD and thus the morbidity and mortality due to Hypertension.
