Comparative study of lipid profile and C-reactive protein in hypertensive and normotensive patients of Andhra Pradesh population

Background Parameters of lipid profile, C-reactive protein was studied in hypertensive and Normotensive adults aged between 25 to 60 years and compared to predict the cardio-vascular disease.

Methods BP was recorded in both groups and compared. CRP lipid profile was studied in both groups and compared.

Results Systolic BP, diastolic BP in HTN and Normotensive were compared statically and p value was highly significant (p <0.01). C-reactive protein of both HTN and Normotensive was compared and statically highly significant (p <0.01). The lipid profile parameters total cholesterol, triglyceride VLDL, HDL, LDL were also compared in both HTN and Normotensive and all values were statistically highly significant (p <0.01).

Conclusion This study highlighted the diagnostic and prognostic values of HTN and cardiovascular diseases, which have high rates of morbidity and mortality.
