Abstract

Introduction: Hypertensive Heart Disease (HHD) is the constellation of abnormalities characterized by cardiac complications. Despite advancements in the management of Hypertension and access to medical care, the incidence of HHD is an alarmingly increasing through time. However, there is a dearth of information on the Determinants of HHD in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the Determinants of HHD among adult hypertensive patients at Gondar University Referral Hospital, Gondar, Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted from April 1st to 26th in 2018. The cases were adult hypertensive outpatients with cardiac complications who were diagnosed within the last two years and were on follow-up and care in Gondar University Referral Hospital Gondar, Ethiopia, during the study period. On the other hand, the controls were adult hypertensive outpatients without a history of any of the cardiac complications who were diagnosed within the last two years and were on follow-up and care in Gondar University Referral Hospital, Gondar, Ethiopia, during the study period. A total of 159 participants included 53 cases and 106 controls were selected using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a checklist, and an interviewer administered a structured questionnaire. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of Hypertensive Heart Disease. In addition, a p-value of less than 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results: According to the results of this study, the majority of the cases (70. 9%) and controls (54. 5%) were in the age group of ≥ 60 years. Furthermore, hypertensive patients who had a family history of cardiovascular Disease (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=4. 7, 95% CI: 1. 8-11. 9), sedentary lifestyle (AOR=3. 2, 95% CI: 1. 3-7. 8), uncontrolled blood pressure (AOR=4, 95% CI: 1. 8-9. 0), and Hypertension duration ≥ 10 years (AOR=3, 95% CI: 1. 1-8. 7) were more likely to develop Hypertensive Heart Disease than their counterparts. Conclusion: Multiple factors predicted HHD; accordingly, it is highly recommended to consider the early management guidelines and provide professional advice regarding physical exercise, especially for older individuals.
