Abstract:

 Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a serious complication of various medical conditions including acute stroke. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the association between stroke toward hypertension (HP) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in northern Saudi palpitations. Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed, all incident stroke events during follow‐up were identified by searching the hospital discharge diagnosis registry, and previous patient’s medical records. Also, we conducted a questionnaire survey among population of North Saudi Arabia including 15 cities. Results: Our study showed that HP, and DVT which is definitely associated with stroke occurs only in approximately 5% of patients and significantly affects mortality among population from northern Saudi. Conclusion: Severe HP events with no stroke incidence is associated with increased risk of DVT especially in Male and age group above 55 years. Therefore, it may be reasonable to provide this group of patients with additional care and proper DVT prophylaxis in order to minimize the risk of stroke. Also, those patients with HP should be managed and followed regularly especially elderly patients who are at risk.
