Abstract EN
Background.
Since the control rate of blood pressure is lower in mainland China, the aim of this study is to investigate the proportion of secondary causes and coexisting diseases of hypertension in hypertensive patients.
Methods.
Data on consecutive patients with hypertension who visited the Hypertension Center.
Diseases were detected using an established strict screening protocol.
Results.
Detection rate of secondary causes and coexisting diseases of hypertension was 39.5% among 3003 hypertensive patients.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was the most common, accounting for 24.7% of patients, followed by primary aldosteronism (PA) (5.8%) and PA + OSA (4.9%).
Endocrine hypertension accounted for 12.1% of patients, including 10.7% of patients with PA, 1.1% with hypothyroidism, 0.1% with pheochromocytoma, 0.1% with Cushing’s syndrome, and 0.1% with hyperthyroidism, respectively.
Those who smoke, those who are obese, and those who have diabetes accounted for 31.3%, 27.5%, and 16.6% of total patients, respectively.
There were overlapping conditions in secondary causes and coexisting diseases of hypertension.
OSA was the most common in each age- and BMI-stratified group.
Conclusion.
Findings from the current study suggest an increasing frequency of secondary forms of hypertension, highlighting the burden of OSA and PA in hypertensive patients.
