The objective of this study was to determine the associated risk factors and to evaluate their knowledge and the impact of dietary habits of hypertensive patients on the control of the pathology. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive and analytical study which took place from June to August 2021 and which concerned hypertensive patients followed for at least one year in the cardiology departments of the CHU and CHR Kara. Results: The study included 186 hypertensive patients with a mean age of 55.59 years The age group of [50 - 59 years] was the most represented with 30.11% of the cases. The male/female sex ratio was 0.92. The main associated risk factors were physical inactivity (67%), pathological waist circumference (65%) and overweight (53%). The BP control rate was 41.94%. An average level of knowledge was noted in the patients. Excessive salt consumption (90%) was the risk factor most known by patients. Insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits (26%) was the least known. Only 21% of patients adopted healthy dietary habits. The adoption of healthy dietary habits was significantly associated with a high rate of BP control (72%, p<0.001). Daily consumption of vegetables (20%) and fruit (5%) was considered low. However, this consumption was associated with a high rate of BP control; 58% (p=0.014) and 67% (p=0.073) respectively. In 52% of regular garlic consumers, 60% had controlled BP compared to 22% of non-consumers of this spice (p<0.001). Knowledge of the effect of foods on BP was not accompanied by healthy consumption of these foods. Conclusion: This study confirmed the need to adopt healthy dietary habits and/or a healthy lifestyle to control hypertension. Substantial consumption of vegetables and fruits and garlic is highly recommended while alcohol, salt, and fast foods should be consumed in moderation. The adoption of these dietary habits by the general population will contribute to the decrease in the prevalence of hypertension in Togo","PeriodicalId":336779,"journal":{"name":"Cardiology and Vascular Medicine","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124132165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is conducted on 70 patients who underwent coronary angiography in many cardiac centres (NHI, PAMCC) in National heart Institute and Arar cardiac centre Saudi Arabia. The population study was divided into 2 groups according to micro albuminuria. Group (I) include 46 patients with angiographic evidence of coronary heart disease and without micro albuminuria. Group (II) include 24 patients with angiographic evidence of coronary heart disease and having micro albuminuria. Patients are subjected to full medical history, through physical examination. 12 lead ECG, fasting blood sugar, Lipid profile, blood urea and serum creatinine levels are obtained. Urinary albumin was measured by Stanbio Total Protein LiquiColor based on the procedure developed by Watanabe et al. Creatinine was measured by creatinine jaffe`reaction.. The ratio of urine albumin to creatinine (ACR) was used to define microalbiminuria .The upper normal limit is 30 mg/g. Conventional Echo Doppler study using (Vivid 7, General Electric-Vingmed) was done to assess EF%. A diagnostic coronary angiogram was performed to assess the severity of CAD according to number of vessels affected and Gensini score estimation. Our study group comprised 70 patients; 56% were men and 44% women; 64% of them were hypertensive, 68% of them were dyslipidemics, 58 of them were smokers, 43% of them were with high BMI and 48% of them have a positive family history of CHD. The mean age was 58.850 ± 11.949 years (ranges from 33 to 81 years). As per Cath Results; 36% CA results were normal, 38% CA results had a one vessel disease and 26% CA results had multivessel disease. For Albumin Creatinine ration 60% had normal results and 40% had abnormal albumin creatinine ratio; of those with high ALB/CR ratio 42% of them had a one vessel disease and 58% of them had multivessel disease. It is also found that micro albuminuria is productive for CAD independently with other risk factors It seems that micro albuminuria increase severity and number of CAD lesions and aggressive treatment of micro albuminuria may beneficial in CAD patients","PeriodicalId":336779,"journal":{"name":"Cardiology and Vascular Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122252714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
