A study has recognized an association between detection of hypertension and death rates from coronary heart disease. The University of Leicester study has also exposed that the country you live in could influence your risk of dying from a heart attack. The Leicester team, analysed whether difference in deaths between different place of the country could be explained by individuality of primary health care services (such as numbers of doctors, presentation against national targets), as well as by characteristics of the population, such as lack, lifestyle (such as smoking), or the numbers of people with diabetes.
Lead research and statement author Steve Levene, of the University of Leicester, said: "We found that population characteristics were most significant, including deprivation; however, 10 per cent of the variation was also explain by how successful primary care services are at notice people who have high blood pressure (hypertension). People who have hypertension are at larger risk of having heart attacks." "We found that senior proportions of white individuals, superior levels of deprivation, higher levels of diabetes, top proportions of smokers, and lower levels of detected hypertension were connected with higher levels of coronary heart disease mortality.
"This is important because it recommend ways in which we can decrease deaths from coronary heart disease. Greater detection of hypertension may decrease deaths from heart attacks," he said. Levene said the new study was significant since it shows a practical way to reduce deaths from heart attack that can be implementing now at a comparatively lower cost. It also suggested that medical practitioners and policy makers need to make better contact with the whole population, rather than presently those individuals whose diseases are known about.
