Background: Hypertension is the most important chronic condition leading to cardiovascular complications in India. Lack of awareness and epidemiological data is the reason for inertia for primordial, primary and secondary prevention. Education, region epidemiological mapping and early screening and intervention can help benefit the population in terms of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Aims & Objectives: To gather, analyze and intervene a large population for early screening, primary and secondary prevention for hypertension.
Patients/Materials & Methods: A team of doctors, nurse, educator and MSW gathered together to understand the prevalence and the incidence of diabetes and Hypertension at rural and sub-urban areas under 9 consultants at different geographical areas of India. Collection of anthropometric data and medical history along with education of the population was done. Further analysis and follow up with Lab parameters was advised to those with newly detected hypertension. They consulted those with preexisting and uncontrolled hypertension and the therapy was up titrated at the consultant’s discretion. Screened population was from 30 to 88 years of age
Results: No. of sites: 9 Population screened: 346 Male- 189; Female: 157. Median Age: 46 Newly detected Hypertensive: 66 Pre-existing Hypertensive: 142 Undetected HTN is more common in females, Rural area and those with T2DM.
Discussion & Conclusion: Hypertension is Far More prevalent than what it seems in Indian Population, the need is to emphasize screening amongst those found at more risk of having undetected hypertension, Also healthcare workers should focus more emphasis on educating those with undetected HTN so that they can get themselves screened early and get treated.
