62 CONCLUSION
This study has shown that there is a significant difference in the CIMT of hypertensive compared to normotensive subject. Higher values of CIMT were seen in hypertensive subject compared to normotensive from age groups 18-70 years. Age, sex, BMI and blood pressure levels have significant effect on CIMT of hypertensive patient. CIMT increases with increasing blood pressure levels and advancing age in hypertensive subjects. It also revealed that CIMT increases with age and with increasing BMI in normotensives. Male hypertensives had higher CIMT than the female counterpart. B-mode ultrasound is a reliable, readily available, cheap and noninvasive imaging modality that is useful in the management of hypertension.
63
investigation for CIMT and government health promotional activities should include routine check of CIMT in hypertensive patients.
