Brief 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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The standard deviation value of blood pressure variability in treated hypertensive patients

    The various indices of day-to-day and long term Blood pressure variability will be calculated giving the actual BPV (in absolute number ) in these patients

    31 Dec 2020

  • Percentage of cardiovascular events in those with higher BPV compared to those with lower BPV

    BPV will be categorized as above or below the mean BPV of the entire group. The number of CV events in percentage in each group will be compared It is expected that those with higher BPV will have more CV events

    31 Dec 2020

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Treated hypertensives with White Coat or Masked hypertension

    31 Dec 2020

  • Difference in cognition in those with higher BP variability compared to those with lower BPV
