Stroke risk in hypertensive patients

This study aims to explore the risk factors for stroke in hypertensive patients and to provide a reference for the comprehensive prevention of the disease. A total of 185 hypertensive patients who suffered a stroke and who were admitted to our hospital from February 2014 to December 2017 were recruited for this study in order to evaluate their lifestyle habits, mean arterial pressure, and blood test indicators. A multivariate analysis of the risk factors was conducted, and 140 non-stroke patients with hypertension and admitted to our hospital were recruited for the study as a control group. A logistic univariate regression analysis showed that gender, smoking, drinking, a high salt diet, a high fat diet, mean arterial pressure, HDL-C, CRP, and NLR were related to stroke, but age, a high sugar diet, LDL-C, and brain stroke were not significantly related. In conclusion, lifestyle habits, mean arterial pressure, and blood test indicators were significantly associated with stroke in hypertensive patients, with alcohol intake, high-fat diets, average arterial pressure, HDL-C, and NLR as independently related factors.
