Actual (reported)Hypertension is a major medical and public health burden throughout the world. It is estimated that 1 in 3 adult South Africans are diagnosed with hypertension, however detailed statistics reflecting the burden of disease are somewhat lacking. The implications and effects of poorly controlled hypertension and its associated co-morbidities are significant and extensive. In South Africa, hypertension is the single most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor and predominant contributor to cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Actual (reported)Identification and categorisation of the prevalance of hypertensive disease in adult patients presenting for non-cardiac surgery, non-obstetric elective surgery at seven hospitals in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Prevalence and degree of hypertensive disease will be determined in adult patients presenting for non-cardiac, non-obstetric, elective surgery in all surgical disciplines with elective theatre lists over the period of the study at seven hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa. Serial preoperative blood pressure measurements will be performed in the pre-assessment anaesthetic consultation and in the immediate preoperative period, using an automated oscillometric blood pressure measurement technique.
