ABSTRACT
Objective and Aim: Variations from the norm of lipid profile and hypertension frequently coincide. The present study was conducted to evaluate the lipid profile abnormalities among hypertensive patients.
Material and Method: This is a retrospective observational study conducted at a primary diabetes and cardiology clinic OPD among 200 patients whose clinical records are well maintained or fully available at the clinics registry. After getting individual patient consent the data collected and analysed to draw a study conclusion.
Result: 48.4 ± 6.9 years was the mean average age of study group whereas for the control group it was 49.3± 5.9 years. In the age group 40-49 years occurrence of hypertension was seen in extreme as compare to other age group. In study groups total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol were significantly higher as compared to control group (p<0.05). Among the hypertensive subjects most frequently occurring abnormality was elevated TC (78%), followed by elevated LDL (66%).
Conclusion: Among newly diagnosed hypertensives lipid variations are highly prevalent as documented in this study. Hypertension is the one of the major risk factor for coronary artery disease and for this biologic interrelations between serum lipids and blood pressure further worsen the condition. Hence to prevent complications early detection and aggressive treatment of dyslipidemia in hypertensive patients should be carried out.
