A STUDY ON RELATIONSHIP OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND HYPERTENSION IN THE RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEART DISEASES IN LOCAL POPULATION OF PAKISTAN

Introduction: Hypertension is a modifiable and major risk factor for coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease and chronic renal failure. It is also recognized as a global chronic, non-communicable disease and a “silent killer” due to its high mortality rates and lack of early symptoms. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the relationship of blood pressure and hypertension in the risk assessment of heart diseases in local population of Pakistan. Methodology of the study: This study was conducted at Bahawal Victoria hospital, Pakistan during 2018. The data was collected from 100 patients which was suffering from high blood pressure and any kind of heart issue. We collect the data in two sections, as first of all we collect some demographic information regarding age, sex, socio-economic status and history of blood pressure. Then in second part we collect data regarding high blood pressure and heart issues. For this purpose we prepare a questionnaire and fill that from patients. Results: The data shows that there is a significant relationship between hypertension and CVD. There is also some positive relationship between socio-economic status and hypertension with respect to CVD. Table 01 shows the value of LDL, HDL, Cholesterol and demographic values of patients. Conclusion: In conclusion, the current hypertension paradigm does not account for the continuous risk associated with elevated BP or the multifactorial nature of CVD, the primary consequence of elevated BP
