Cardiac hypertensive patients demonstrate inadequate knowledge regarding hypertension and the risks of elevated systolic blood pressure, highlighting a need for targeted educational programs.
The results state that there is an inadequate general knowledge of hypertension among cardiac patients and they do not recognise the significance of elevated SBP levels. There is a need to initiate programs that create community awareness regarding long term complications of uncontrolled hypertension, particularly elevated SBP levels so that there is an improvement in self-care practices of the cardiac patients.
