Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the achievement of target blood pressure (BP) level in patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension who were under follow-up of cardiologists of the State Institution of Science «Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine» State Administrative Department
Materials and methods: We evaluated 1120 electronic medical records (medical software program “ESCUL’ap”) and carried out an analysis of target BP level’s achievement in 512 patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension who were under follow-up of cardiologists of the Therapeutic department of our institution and were reviewed by a cardiologist in 2019. The percentage of female patients was 30,1±2,0%. Patient`s age ranged from 37 to 91 years, the mean age was 72,1±0,4 years, 72,8±0,6 years in woman and 71,8±0,4 years in mans. We used statistical software programs (Statistica v. 6.0) and Microsoft Excel 2007 applications for data analysis. Categorical data were presented as absolute and relative (%) frequency. To enable comparisons, we calculated the mean value (M), and the the standard error of the mean (m). Student's t-test was used to compare the mean of data for groups.
Results and discussion: According to data of the medical records the target level of BP (<140/90 mm Hg) was attained in 343 of 512 patients (67,0±2,1%) – in 70,1±2,4% of male patients and 59,7±4,0% of women (р>0,05). The highest rate of target BP achievement – 83,3±6,8% – was in 50-59 years old, the lowest – 61,5±3,2% – in 70-79 years old. Our results were significantly better than in the EUROASPIRE IV survey – according to the results of this study the target BP levels were achieved only by 38% of men and 47% of women in Ukraine and by 35% of men and 48% of women in other European countries.
Conclusions. Our study demonstrates that 67,0±2,1% (70,1±2,4% of mans and 59,7±4,0% of women) of patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension who were under follow-up of cardiologists achieved the target level of BP (<140/90 mm Hg). These data confirms the effectiveness of the model of medical care for patients with hypertension, introduced in the State Institution of Science «Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine» State Administrative Department
