Introduction: A significant contributor to morbidity and death is hypertension. In hypertension, microalbuminuria is thought to be a potent, early, and independent indicator of elevated cardiovascular risk. Micro-Albuminuria shows a strong correlation with left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive individuals. This investigation was carried out on both inpatients and outpatients in the Department of General Medicine. Material And Method: A total of 100 Cases admitted in medical wards and those attending medicine outpatient department in Al Ameen Medical College, Athani road, Vijayapura who were recently diagnosed of hypertension. Results: Study was conducted in 100 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Out of 100 patients, 70 % patients had Microalbuminuria and 41 % had Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. The relationship between Microalbuminuria and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy was found to be Statistically Significant. Conclusion: In the present study we evaluated the Prevalence of Microalbuminuria and Left ventricular hypertrophy in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. We found that: 43% were between age group of 40-49 Among 100 patients, 41 patients had LVH and 59 had normal cardiac geometry Among 70 patients with microalbuminuria, 39 patients had Left ventricular hypertrophy showing a significant association between Microalbuminuria and Left ventricular hypertrophy. A significant association was found between Stage of Hypertension with Microalbuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy. Microalbuminuria is an integrated marker of CV risk and has a statistically significant association with Left ventricular hypertrophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
