Abstract: (55 Views)
Background: The COVID-19 epidemic is predicted to cause another NCDs epidemic. The fact that hypertension, as well as other forms of cardiovascular disease, is frequently seen in COVID-19 patients has led to the fact that most patients with SARS-COV-2 are treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and blockers. Angiotensin receptor (ARB) be treated. So far, no study has been conducted on the prevalence of hypertension in patients with coronary heart disease and its relationship with pulmonary involvement. Let's do it.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional comparative study is performed on the records of patients admitted to Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital in Ilam with a diagnosis of COVID-19. It was carried out in the summer of 2021 to the summer of 2023. At the time of hospitalization, patients' blood pressure is calculated and recorded according to standard criteria. The degree of hypoxia is also assessed using a pulse oximeter according to the set criteria.
Results: In this study, the mean age of patients aged 54.65 years in the age range of 18-95 years. The correlation coefficient of systolic blood pressure is directly related to pulmonary involvement, but this relationship is not statistically significant. At the age of less than 60 years, the correlation coefficient between systolic blood pressure and pulmonary involvement with age is positive and significant, but at the age of more than 60 years, this relationship is inverse and not significant. The relationship between systolic blood pressure and pulmonary involvement is direct and significant. A linear correlation coefficient was reported between systolic blood pressure and pulmonary involvement with a history of direct hypertension.
Conclusion: In the present study, the prevalence of hypertension was 19.5% and using Pearson linear correlation test, it was shown that there is a direct relationship between blood pressure correlation coefficient with pulmonary involvement, but this relationship was not statistically significant. This relationship was reported to be direct and significant for the age group under 60 years. It was also direct and significant in men.
