THE PREVALENCE OF CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND ITS RELATED RISK FACTORS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify congestive heart failure prevalence and related risk factors among people with hypertension using a nearby healthcare institution. The specific objectives were to determine Congestive heart failure (CHF) frequency research and identification of risk variables for CHF progression and to identify the variables connected to the provision of healthcare related to the occurrence of CHF among patients with hypertension. Numerous research involving CHF have been conducted throughout the United States, however, there has not been much scientific report on the increasing condition involving hypertensive individuals throughout this region. Hence, the objective of this investigation was to shed light on the prevalence of CHF among hypertension individuals as well as its causes. The North Shore University Hospital's hypersensitive patients and key informants were the demographic profile of the respondents. 230 people made up the entire sample. After receiving the study respondents' written consent, data were gathered utilizing questionnaires and interviewing key informants. The interview was conducted in two private areas at the North Shore University Hospital under confidentiality agreement rules. To synthesize the information and assess the incidence of CHF across hypertension patients, quantifiable information was examined using percentages, averages, and standard deviation. To determine connections and projections between the risk elements and medical service-related characteristics (independent variables) and the occurrence of CHF (dependent variable) within hypertensive patients, chi-square and logistic regression were used. Following information gathering, qualitative information was examined by looking for patterns. According to the study's findings, 12.5% of hypertensive patients at North Shore University Hospital had CHF. Exercise levels, time spent sitting and traveling, as well as Obesity, were indicators of the emergence and progression of CHF. The affordability and accessibility of hypertension prescription planned proper CHF outpatient follow-up appointments, and the accessibility of CHF potential risk testing services in hospitals were all connected to the provision of healthcare and was linked to the occurrence of CHF. The research concluded that the onset of CHF was linked to risk factors that can be modified and all aspects connected to the provision of medical services. The research advised the health department to look into strategies to minimize the incidence of CHF and to lessen the potential risks that may be modified to prevent CHF from developing. The medical facility should also find and address flaws throughout the provision of medical care, such as the supply of medications and patients' planned clinic follow-ups.
