Abstract
Introduction: Abnormalities in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are recognized major modifiable cardiovascular disease and essential hypertension risk factors. The objective of this study was to examine the serum lipid patterns of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients attending a tertiary healthcare center. Material and Method: This is prospective and observational study conducted at Department of General Medicine, Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 6 months. The serum lipid profiles of 75 hypertensive patients was studied and compared with those of healthy controls. The serum lipid profiles (TC, TGL.HDL, VLDL, LDL, TC/ HDL, LDL/ HDL ratios) were studied with respect to various clinical profiles like age, sex, type, incidence etc. Study group consisted of patients with hypertension as identified by history, clinical examination, and other relevant examinations. Results: In our study 36.2 ± 3.8 years was the mean average age of study group whereas for the control group it was 37.7± 3.9 years. In the age group 35-40 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<0.03). Among the hypertensive subjects most frequently occurring abnormality was elevated TC (70%), followed by elevated LDL (60%). Conclusion: This study showed that lipid abnormalities are highly prevalent among diagnosed hypertensives.
