Globally, obesity is now recognised as an epidemic. The degree of obesity is proportional to the rate of development of cardiovascular diseases, hence, resulting in a dramatic increase in morbidity and mortality. Apart from obesity, hypertension is another well recognised risk factor contributing to coronary artery disease (CAD). The precise prevalence of obesity-related hypertension varies with age, race and gender; and is yet unknown in our population. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension in obese and non-obese patients with diagnosed CAD.
This hospital based descriptive study was conducted in Cardiology Department of Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 15th March 2007 to 30th May 2008. A total of 200 patients with diagnosed CAD were enrolled, 100 were found obese and 100 non-obese.
Among these, a total of 111 (55.5%) were found to be hypertensive, 66 (59.46%) of these were obese and 45 (40.54%) non-obese (p=0.003).
Obese patients with CAD had significantly more frequent hypertension.
在全球范围内，肥胖如今被视为一种流行病。肥胖程度与心血管疾病的发展速度成正比，因此导致发病率和死亡率急剧上升。除肥胖外，高血压是另一个公认的导致冠状动脉疾病（CAD）的危险因素。肥胖相关高血压的确切患病率因年龄、种族和性别而异；在我们的人群中尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定已确诊CAD的肥胖和非肥胖患者中高血压的患病率。
本基于医院的描述性研究于2007年3月15日至2008年5月30日在白沙瓦莱迪·雷丁医院研究生医学研究所心脏病科进行。共纳入200例已确诊CAD的患者，其中100例肥胖，100例非肥胖。
在这些患者中，共有111例（55.5%）被发现患有高血压，其中66例（59.46%）肥胖，45例（40.54%）非肥胖（p=0.003）。
已确诊CAD的肥胖患者高血压更为常见。
