Analysis of blood pressure in 425 cases with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage

Objective To study the relationships between hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) and family history of hypertensive disease, gender, age and disease course in Guangzhou. Methods The clinical profiles of 425 (269 male and 156 female) patients with HICH admitted to Nanfang Hospital, Guangzhou from 2000 to 2004 were collected. The relationships between disease incidences in different family histories of hypertensive disease, genders, ages, courses of disease and blood pressure were analyzed. Results In all 425 cases with HICH, the ratio of male to female of people with family history of hypertensive disease was significantly higher than that without in male.There were no obvious differences between with and without family history in female. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were higher in the male than in the female in young group. In middle-aged group and elder group, there were no significant differences in SBP and DBP between the male and the female. The distributions of SBP and DBP were all acute stage＞ subacute stage＞ convalescence stage. Conclusions Hypertensive disease should be supplied with different strategies of prevention and cure in accordance with different ages, genders and courses of disease, which can decrease the incidence of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage maximally.
