Prevalence of Hypertension in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus

Completed

• Conditions: Prevalence of Elevated Blood Pressure in Type-2 Diabetics

• Registration Number: NCT05266885
• Lead Sponsor: Kabul University of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

Cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Hypertension has been confirmed as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the detection and management of elevated blood pressure (BP) is a critical component of the comprehensive clinical management of diabetics. Since the rates of hypertension in diabetics are lacking in Afghanistan, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure in type-2 diabetic patients.

Since the rates of hypertension in diabetics are lacking in Afghanistan, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure in type-2 diabetic patients.

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, which included 322 type -2 diabetic patients (37 male, 63 female) who were presented to our center from November 2019 to January 2020.
