Cardiovascular event risk factors among patients with arterial hypertension and extrasystole

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension and associated cardiac arrhythmias, including extrasystoles, leads to a more detailed study and analysis of the impact of known risk factors for cardiovascular events on this pathology to develop further preventive measures for complications and mortality. A total of 120 patients with stage 2 hypertension and extrasystole and 30 patients with stage 2 hypertension without signs of extrasystole were examined. 54 patients diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension and supraventricular extrasystole formed the first, 40 the second, and 26 the third clinical study group. The results of the study showed the predominance of stage 2 hypertension of the II–III grade and extrasystole among female patients. It was revealed that the influence of the risk factor for the development of cardiovascular events, the age factor, in patients of the third clinical group is 92.3% and the total risk indicator is significantly higher. High pulse pressure as a risk factor was registered in 13 patients (43.3%) of the control group and in 22 patients (40.7%) of the first clinical study group, which suggests different mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles in patients with stage 2 hypertension, as the results of 21 patients (52.5%) of the second and 19 patients (73.1%) of the third clinical study group had no statistical significance. The age factor and the factor of registering a high level of pulse blood pressure should be considered as a component of the pathogenesis of topical variants of extrasystole in combination with stage 2 hypertension, considering their influence when developing prophylactic recommendations for the prevention of stage 2 hypertension and extrasystole in people of different ages.
