Abstract

Background: Hypertension is currently recognized as a public health problem worldwide, therefore blood pressure variability would be a risk factor for cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to contribute to the study of blood pressure variability in hypertensive patients admitted to the neurology department of the HNID

Methodology: This is a prospective, longitudinal analytical-type study lasting 6 months. We conducted an exhaustive recruitment of all hypertensive patients admitted to the neurology department of HNID. Patients admitted for high blood pressure and its complications regardless of age and sex and who agreed to participate in this study were included.

Results: 161 patients were hospitalized in our department for various pathologies, 38 of them presented a blood pressure variability, i.e. a frequency of 23.60%. The mean age was 61.68 years with extremes of 20 and 80 years and an F/H sex ratio of 1.23. The factors tested were sociodemographic characteristics (occupation), vomiting, meningeal involvement, and antihypertensive therapies were statistically significant factors associated with APV with respectively (p = 0.0001, p=0.0204, P = 0.0001, p = 0.0004).

Conclusion: The present study highlights a VPA significantly related to occupation, vomiting and triple antihypertensive therapy.
