No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cardiovascular Disease (CV) including stroke is the leading cause of death in Malaysia Hypertension is a major contributor to this. Prevalence of hypertension in Malaysia is high (42%) in adults age 30 years or older. Besides the actual blood pressure (BP) level recently, blood pressure variability (BPV) has been recognized as an independent and strong predictor of CV events especially strokes. However, data on the BP variability and its relationship to CV events is very limited in Asia, particularly in Malaysia. Hence the investigators aim to study BPV and its relationship to CV events in treated hypertensive patients
