Association between Systolic Blood Pressure and Congestive Heart Failure in Hypertensive Patients Mrs. Sutheera Intajarurnsan Doctor of Public Health Student Faculty of Public Health, Khon Kaen University
Outlines • Background • Objectives • Materials and Methods • Results • Discussions • Conclusions
Background http://isp.swanih.org • As many as 1 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension whichestimated to cause 4.5% of current global disease burden • Of all the potential complications of hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF) was the most consistently found, it is called “Silent disease” http://www medical device network.com
Background(cont.) http:// www. siamhealth.net • Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is a major predictor of cardiovascular disease, one of complications in hypertensive (HT) patients • Gaps of knowledge: • There are some controversial findings regarding the association between SBP and risk of CHF. • Moreover, not much epidemiologic evidence
Objectives • To investigate the association between SBP and CHF among hypertensive patients in Thailand
Materials and Methods • Study design • Cross-sectional study • Based on the survey of the An Assessment on Quality of Care among Patients Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (DM) and Hypertension (HT) Visiting Hospitals of Ministry of Public Health and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration in Thailand, from 2010 to 2012
Materials and Methods (cont.2) • Study outcome • Association between SBP and CHF • Independent variable • SBP (polytomous categorical variables) • Dependent variable • CHF (dichotomous categorical variables)
Materials and Methods (cont. 3) • Statistical analysis • Descriptive analysis • Bivariate analysis • Multivariate analysis (Multiple logistic regression) • All analyses were performed using Stata version 12.0 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX). • A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistical significant.

Results; Factors associated with CHF complication in hypertensive patients Fig. 2. Factors affecting CHF complication in hypertensive patients , presented as odds ratio adjusted for gender, age, occupation, BMI, SBP, DBP and smoking history, using multiple logistic regression
Discussions This findings • The finding of this study showed that there were no significant associations between SBP and CHF complication among hypertensive patients (p = 0.223) • However, hypertensive patients who had high systolic blood pressure levels, were likely to obtained occurring of CHF complication. • These results likely presented the positive association but not significant difference
Discussions (cont. 2) Previous findings • The Framingham Heart Study showed hypertension (SBP>140 mmHg) was associated with a two-fold increased risk of HF in men when compared with normal (SBP<140 mmHg) • The recently study was conducted by Kathryn A., and colleagues found a positive association between SBP and HF risk. Among subjects with a SBP 130-139 mmHg, there was a significantly increased risk of HF as well as a linear trend in HF risk across normotensive SBP categories6.
Discussions (cont. 3) • Strength • Nationally representative sample • Real situations (uncontrolled conditions) • Saving for time and budget • Limitation • Insufficient data and missing values in medical records (handle by using best case and worst case method compared with based case) • Information bias • Recall bias
Conclusions Systolic blood pressure was not significantly associated with congestive heart failure in hypertensive patients. Recommendations for the next study • Further research should required lager sample size • Design the study by using an RCT Benefits • Studies regarding risk and protective factors lead to prevention of morbidity and mortality among HT patients.
