This was a retrospective cohort study to assess the effect of hypertension (HTN) among Qatari and Asian patients admitted to the Hamad General Hospital in Qatar with heart failure (HF) and to identify risk factors that contribute to the development of HF in HTN patients in the State of Qatar. A total of 20,856 patients were treated during the 10-year period; 8446 were Qataris and 60% were male. Among the total Qatari patients admitted with HF (n=2342), 52.4% had HTN. The incidence of HTN was slightly higher in males than in females (50.4 vs. 49.6%; p<0.001). Significantly more HTN patients had diabetes mellitus (DM) (p<0.001) and hypercholesterolemia (p<0.001). There was also a significant difference between Qatari and Asian HTN patients in respect of their age (p<0.001) and gender (p<0.001). Qatari hypertensive patients were more likely to have DM (p<0.001). HTN and DM were the most common risk factors for HF.
这是一项回顾性队列研究,旨在评估卡塔尔哈马德总医院收治的心力衰竭(HF)的卡塔尔和亚洲患者中高血压(HTN)的影响,并确定卡塔尔国高血压患者发生心力衰竭的危险因素。在10年期间共治疗了20856名患者;其中8446名是卡塔尔人,60%为男性。在因心力衰竭入院的卡塔尔患者总数(n=2342)中,52.4%患有高血压。高血压的发病率男性略高于女性(50.4%对49.6%;p<0.001)。高血压患者患糖尿病(DM)(p<0.001)和高胆固醇血症(p<0.001)的比例明显更高。卡塔尔和亚洲高血压患者在年龄(p<0.001)和性别(p<0.001)方面也存在显著差异。卡塔尔高血压患者患糖尿病的可能性更大(p<0.001)。高血压和糖尿病是心力衰竭最常见的危险因素。
