Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is most important cause for morbidity and mortality world wide, and it is one of the leading cause of non communicable disease mortality. But most of the hypertension patients are not aware and they are not under control. So the study was done to analyse the clinical features of Hypertension and blood pressure response, side effects of patients treated with Azilasartan. Material and methods: We retrospectively collected data of all patients presenting to outpatient department over 3 months, the parameters studied were Age, symptoms, signs, investigations if any, with main focus on patients with Hypertension (Diagnosed according to JNCVII guidelines) treated with Azilsartan 40 mg along with blood pressure response from day1, day 8and day 30 were noted. Results: Total number of patients were 22, with Male to Female ratio of 59%:41% and the age ranging from 35 years to 70 years with mean age of .51.72 years. The commonest symptom was headache in 41%followed by giddiness and body pains in18.8%, neck pain in 13.63% andleg pains, weakness in 4.54%.Day 1 mean Systolic Blood pressure was 164.55 mm Hgand mean Diastolic Blood pressure was98.54 mm Hg, after treatment with Azilsartan the mean Systolic Blood Pressure on day 8 was 141.66 mm Hg and mean Diastolic Blood preesure was 89.66 mm Hg, and day 30 mean systolic Blood pressure was 133.55 mm Hg and mean Diastolic Blood pressure was 88.83 mm Hg. 88.8 %patients reached target blood pressure, 12% did not reach the target, 2(9%) patients had giddiness. Conclusion: Azilsartan has better Blood pressure lowering effects with good tolerance in hypertensive patients.
