Abstract

Abstract : Objective: Our aim was to analyse the presence of essential hypertention in group of patients, estimated to have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in population according to Dutch Lipid Network Criteria (DLNC). Design and method: A Querstionaire based cross sectional study among young patients aged 18–60 years, was carried out in 59 patients, who were hospitalized in Department of Cardiology in period January, 2015 to February, 2015. Blood was taken for laboratory tests. Results: We found that 3, 39% (n = 2) of the patients estimated for FH according to DLNC had probable FH; 42, 37%(n = 25)- had possible FH and 54, 24% (n = 32) had unlikely FH. In group with probable FH 100% (n = 2) of the patients had hypertention; with possible FH-8, 0% (n = 2) had no hypertention, 52, 0% (n = 13) had hypertention under 5 years; 24, 0% (n = 6) had it between 5–10 years and 16, 0% (n = 4) had hypertention above 10 years. Patients in unlikely FH's group that had no hypertention were 2 (6, 25%), with hypertention bellow 5 years- 12 (37, 5%); 8 of them had hypertention between 5–10 years (25, 0%) and 10 (31, 25%)- hypertention above 10 years. Conclusions: Our results showed the prevalence of patients with essential hypertention in observed group estimated according to DLNC. This can help us to determine risk patients with these two important diseases- FH and hypertention, and to prevent early disorders of target organs.
