Key result
Hypertension linked to ~27% higher absolute prevalence of coexisting CHD.
Why the study?
Assessing the population burden of hypertension and its coexistence with coronary heart disease is crucial for planning preventive strategies in ageing European societies.
Observational
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 28.4% vs 1.3%
p-value: p=<0.001
This nationwide analysis highlights a massive burden of hypertension in Poland, affecting nearly 11 million people, with over 28% having coexisting coronary heart disease.

Hypertension was associated with high CHD coexistence; leaves open whether integrated screening improves outcomes in this population.
Burzyńska et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Hypertension and Coronary Heart Disease. Hypertension vs. Individuals without hypertension was evaluated on Coexisting coronary heart disease (p=<0.001). Hypertension was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of coexisting coronary heart disease compared to individuals without hypertension (28.4% vs 1.3%; p<0.001).
