Background: High blood pressure is associated with elevated atherogenic blood lipid fractions. A better understanding of the relation between blood pressure and blood lipids may provide insight into the mechanisms of hypertension associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. Methods: the serum lipid profile of 50 hypertensive patients were studied and compared with healthy controls. The serum lipid profile was studied concerning various clinical profiles like age, gender, incidence, etc. Result: higher number of patients with hypertension were above 40 years of age group. The serum value of total cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Total cholesterol (TC)/High-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TGL), Low-density lipoprotein LDH/high-density lipoprotein LDH were significant elevated in the hypertensive group as compared to healthy controls. The incidence of hyperlipidemia was more in male patients. Conclusion: there was a significant alteration observed of lipid profiles in hypertensive patients as compared to controls.
