What is the prevalence of hypertension and its association with complications in patients with treated Type-2 diabetes mellitus?
Hypertension and prehypertension are highly prevalent in treated Type-2 diabetic patients, highlighting the need for aggressive blood pressure management to prevent complications.
Aims and Objectives: 1 To study the prevalence of hypertension in Type-2 diabetic patients. 2 To study the association with hypertension and diabetic complications. Materials and Methods: A total of 250 diabetic patients coming to Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital and College, Bellary were studied and evaluated for blood pressure (BP), and macrovascular and microvascular complication. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Sample Size: 250. Inclusion Criteria: All Type-2 diabetic patients who are on treatment for diabetes. Exclusion Criteria: a. Newly diagnosed diabetes, b. Seriously ill patients, c. Refused to be a part of the study, d. Pregnancy, e. Type-1 diabetes mellitus. Results and Conclusion: Prevalence of hypertension noted in 64 (25.6%) patients. BP was normal in 55 (22%), 131 (52.4%) patients were prehypertensive, 45 (18%) patients were in stage-1 hypertension, and 19 (7.6%) had stage-2 hypertension. Macrovascular complications noted in 120 (48%) and microvascular complications noted in 60 (24%) patients.
Venugopal et al. (Wed,) conducted a cross-sectional in Type-2 diabetes mellitus (n=250). Type-2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension. Among 250 patients with treated Type-2 diabetes, the prevalence of hypertension was 25.6%, with 48% exhibiting macrovascular and 24% exhibiting microvascular complications.
