Why the study?
The aetiology of essential hypertension remains hypothetical, and few studies have explored the correlation between serum calcium levels and blood pressure.
Population
200 patients (100 newly diagnosed essential hypertensive and 100 normotensive patients)
Comparison
Newly diagnosed essential hypertensive patients vs normotensive patients

Lower calcium in hypertension warrants no clinical action; leaves open a potential etiologic role requiring prospective confirmation.
Newly diagnosed essential hypertensive patients exhibit significantly lower serum calcium levels compared to normotensive individuals, though these levels do not correlate with blood pressure severity.
Aashish et al. (2021) studied this question.
