Key result
Hypertension linked to ~28% prevalence of coexisting CHD compared to individuals without hypertension.
Why the study?
Understanding the population burden of hypertension and the extent to which it coexists with coronary heart disease is essential for planning effective preventive strategies.
Population
Entire Polish population with recorded diagnoses in administrative data from the National Health Fund between 2018 and 2022

Absolute Event Rate: 28.4% vs 1.3%
p-value: p=<0.001
In the Polish population, nearly 11 million people have diagnosed hypertension, with 28.4% having coexisting coronary heart disease, highlighting a substantial cardiovascular burden.
Burzynska et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease (n=10,929,035). 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).
