Abstract

Introduction: Heart failure is third most common cardiovascular disease in the US affecting 2 per cent of the U.S. population, or almost 5 million people. The prevalence of heart failure increases with the age from less than 1 per cent in the 20 - 39-year-old age group to over 20 per cent in the people age 80 year or older. The life time risk of developing heart failure is estimated at about 20 per cent both in men and women. Methodology: The target population consisted of patients of either sex diagnosed as Congestive Heart Failure according to the Framingham Criteria for Congestive Heart Failure, either admitted to the In-Patient Department (IPD) or visiting the out-patient department. They were contacted, explained about the purpose of study and requested for enrolment. They were provided with a patient information sheet either in Kannada, Hindi or English. Results: The mean arterial blood pressure was subsequently measured and patients were divided into two categories – Normal (70-105 mg/dl) and Hypertensives(>105 mg/dl). Conclusion: The mean value of MABP in the study group was 96.43 ± 12.38 mmHg with a median value of 95 mmHg. In the study group, 78.67% patients had normal MABP (70-105 mg/dl) while 21.33% patients had high MABP (> 105 mmHg).
