185 patients with severe hypertension were treated at the Cardiovascular Department, Viet Tiep Hai Phong Hospital in 2004. Results: patients with severe hypertension accounted for 20.30% of admitted hypertension patients. The mean age was 63.44± 13.64. Female is more than male. 18.33% the patients didn’t know that they suffered from hypertension, only 26.49% patients had regular treatment, specially 55.73% patients discontinued treatment. Heart disease was the most common complication, with high rate 37.85%. 16.21% patients had myocardial ischemia. 25.95% patients had arrhythmia. 93.52% patients were treated by triple-drug or fourth-drug therapy after admission, the patients’ blood pressure decreased after one hour follow up. The mortality was low (1.62%). There were no treatment sequelae

A study on hypertension in 548 officials of Thanh Nhan hospital from May 2001 to July 2001 showed that there were 56 officials suffered from hypertension (10,22%); the rate of hypertension in males was higher than in females, the rate increased with age, especially people over 50 years. Risk factors for hypertension: elderly, intellectual work, having relatives with hypertension, lack of physical exercise, sleeplessness, salty diet, drink, smoking. Common complications in 56 hypertensive patients were: 55,36% increased total cholesterol, 53,57% increased triglyceride, 7,14% increased uremia, rhythm disturbances 17,86%, left ventricular hypertrophy 19,64%, swelled arteries 14,29%, congested 16,07%, hemorrhaged 10,71%, swelled yellow spot 12,5%

500 medical records of hypertension were reviewed retrospectively aimed to investigate the hypertensive level by sex and age, incidence of cerebral and cardiac complications. Level of awareness was measured primarily, and treatments for hypertensive patients with complications were followed-up. The results showed that most of patients were farmers. Awareness in precursors of hypertension as well as in monitoring and control the blood pressure is poor. Rate of hypertension with cardiac and cerebral complications is higher in men than in women. There are differences in blood pressure between age groups; however, the correlation between blood pressure and age is weak and insignificant

The study carries on 156 primary hypertensive patients at 108 hospital. Some characterisictic of these patients were: men with age > 55, women with age > 65, obese 53.1%, function disordered of left ventricle, chest intense attack, injury of cerebral vessel, hypadrenia, eye injury, disorder lipidemia. Complication has association proportional to developpement time of disease. The more treating much complication led to the result of treatment less effect. Patient group treated usualy has less complication than patient group that no intereser to their disease

A case of portopulmonary hypertension characterized by repeated syncope was retrospectively analyzed. Intrahepatic or extrahepatic factor-induced portal hypertension complicated with metabolic disorder of vasoactive substances, vascular pressure, inflammation, etc. may result in systolic and diastolic dysfunction of pulmonary arteries and systemic hyperdynamic circulation, the long-term effect of which can induce vascular remodeling and consequently, pulmonary hypertension. The pathogenic process is rather insidious. Pulmonary hypertension is clinically characterized by the raised average pulmonary artery pressure, normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and high pulmonary vascular resistance. Currently available therapeutic approaches include drug therapy targeting on pulmonary hypertension and liver transplantation.

Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine-producing tumors that typically cause hypertension. They are rare tumors that can pose problems in diagnosis and detection. Although they usually present classic symptoms, they can at times present symptoms that mimic other clinical conditions. Especially, children have fewer malignant tumors, non-extra-adrenal tumors, and tumors with greater bilaterality and multiplicity. The diagnosis of pheochromocytomas is based upon clinical suspicion and biochemical study. Radiologic localization is obtained before operation because of the variable location of this tumor. The treatment of choice is surgical resection. We reports a case of asymptomatic pheochromocytoma that was treated with tumor excision. To prevent intraoperative and postoperative complications, precise preoperative diagnosis and localization, as well as adequate preoperative management, are necessary.
