Does blood pressure correlate in orthopaedic and plastic patients at a regional orthopaedic hospital in Nigeria?
This study has shown a high prevalence of hypertension among patients presenting at the study centre. There is also a high degree of association between the lifestyle habits and level of blood pressure. The implications of this for surgical outcome are highlighted.
An HRE is associated with a high prevalence of TID in patients without other significant perfusion defects, possibly as a result of global subendocardial ischemia induced by the HRE.
