Abstract
Objective: To determine frequency of cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with benign prostate enlargement (BPH).
Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted at department of urology CMC/SMBBMU Larkana, from 01-01-2-2019 to 31-12-2019. It included 100 patients who admitted with BPH and hypertension and cardiovascular pathology. Age and duration of BPH symptoms like urgency, frequency) and HTN were recorded. Stratification of age and duration of BPH to see the impact of these on outcome variables were noted. Data were analyze on SPSS version 22.
Results: Age range was 50-81 years. Out of 100 patients, 25 had raised blood pressure more than 140-90mmHg, with highest blood pressure of 190-120mmHg. Out of these, 25 patients, when further investigated by cardiologist, 11 had cardiovascular problems like decreased ejection fraction, left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular failure, ischemic heart disease and non-significant ECG changes. Among these 11 patients, nine were managed and surgery was done successfully without any unwanted issues. Two patients were with very low ejection fraction of less than 20% were unfit for surgery and hence surgery was not performed.
Conclusion: Most of patients with BPH have risk factors like hypertension and cardiac issues. Such patients should be properly investigated to prevent morbidity or mortality.
