12. Clinical characteristics in Parkinson patients having hypertension
Main Article Content
Abstract
This purpose of this cross-sectional study on 50 Parkinson patients is to describe the clinical characteristics of Parkinson patients with hypertension. The mean age of the study group was 69.38 ± 7.99. The rates of Parkinson's patients with grade 1 and grade 2 hypertension are 44% and 56%, respectively. late-onset Parkinson's patients often had typical forms (87.5%), tremors (12.5%), but no patient has hypertonic/immobilization, while there were 2 patients in the hypertonic/immobilization form in the early-onset group. Sleep disturbance was significantly more common in the Parkinson's group with hypertension and late onset. There are 2 motor complications encountered in our study group: movement fluctuations and dyskinesias. 25% of patients had orthostatic hypotension, but there was no difference between the 2 groups according to the degree of hypertension. The maximum, minimum, and average blood pressure in late-onset Parkinson's disease group were significantly higher than those in early-onset group, with statistical significance with p < 0.05. Clinical symptoms of Parkinson patients with hypertension differ between early and late onset groups. We suggest that additional researches are needed to study in depth on the treatment characteristics of this population.
