Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: WHO and ISH both define hypertension as, a persistent elevation of blood pressure greater than 130/90 mm Hg. Hypertension doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure. Aims and Objectives: To study clinical profile and risk factors of acute cardiac complications in nondiabetic young hypertensive patients. Methods: Descriptive Study done at tertiary care centre, sangli. We have examined 48 cases. Observations and Results: Chest pain, Giddiness, dyspnoea, Palpitations, blurring of vision, headache, vomiting and oliguria were common presenting complaints. Obesity, addictions, male sex, dyslipidemia are common risk factors for cardiac complications in young HTN. Left Unstable Angina, Accelerated Hypertension, Myocardial Infarction, and Acute LVF were the cardiac omplications. Conclusions: Hypertension in the young patients has been found with increasing frequency and is increasingly recognised as having significant short and long-term health consequences..
