ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of patients with hypertension complicated with heart failure in Shenyang, and to understand population characteristics and risk factors. Methods From January 2018 to December 2018, a large-scale random sampling survey was conducted in various districts and counties in Shenyang, Liaoning, to investigate the study subjects’ physical indicators and laboratory examination indicators through family visits using questionnaires. Results A total of 32 257 people were randomly sampled in Shenyang, with 32 140 valid questionnaires. The questionnaire validity rate was 99.63%. The prevalence of hypertension combined with heart failure was 9.14%, and the disease awareness rate of the patients was 41.46%. There were significant differences in the incidence rates of the patients with different gender, age, residence, occupation, BMI, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes and family history of the disease (P<0.05), among which age, BMI, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes and family history were risk factors for hypertension complicated with heart failure. There were statistically significant differences in disease awareness rates among people with different gender, age, residence, education level, occupation, BMI, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes and family history (P<0.05). The disease awareness rate was mainly affected by gender, age, residence, education level and occupation. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension complicated with heart failure in Shenyang is related to a variety of factors, among which age, BMI, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes and family history of the disease were risk factors. The disease awareness rate of patients is also low. Therefore, reasonable and effective measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of the disease.
