Abstract
Hypertension is an important public health problem in both economically developed and developing nations. Worldwide, 7.6 million premature deaths were attributed to high blood pressure. Hypertension has been associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this retrospective study about 312 cases was to determine differences in treatment and control rates of hypertension between male and female and to research the frequency of associated cardiovascular risk factors in the hypertensive population in Zaatari camp deployed in Jordan for Syrian refugees [9]. Our study confirmed the high prevalence of hypertension and associated cardiovascular risk factor. Although women are better treated, much remains to be done to reach BP goal for themselves and also for the rest of the patients.
