Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of target end organ damage in newly detected hypertensive patients and to analyse the severity of hypertension at the time of diagnosis based on target organ damage. PATIENTS AND METHODS: It is a cross sectional study to assess the prevalence of target end organ damage in 200 newly detected hypertensive patients attending NCD OPD in Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, Coimbatore from June 2017 to June 2018. Study data consists of primary data collected by the principal investigator directly from newly detected hypertensive patients. The study duration was 12 months. Patients in the age group of 30 to 50 years attending NCD OPD newly detected as hypertensive patients were included in the study. RESULTS: Our study showed that higher the systolic and diastolic blood pressure there is more chance of hypertensive retinopathy. As the stage of hypertension progresses, hypertensive retinopathy also progresses. Also amount of albuminuria depends on mean systolic blood pressure. As the systolic blood pressure is more risk of albuminuria is more. Also presence of elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure is associated with presence of hypertensive heart disease and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and renal disease. CONCLUSION: In this study, as the magnitude of blood pressure is higher at the time of diagnosis there chance of presence of end organ damage. This signifies the importance of evaluating for all the end organ damage at the time of diagnosis of the disease. This reduces risk of morbidity and mortality and aids prevention of complications.
