Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the follow-up of hypertensive patients with or without associated cardiovascular risk factors in western Algeria. And to establish a biological and epidemiological profile. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Two hundred patients aged 40 years and over followed up for the HTA were collected among the population of patients seen in consultation at the hospital of Mascara and Saida (two cities in western Algeria) from November 15, 2017 to February 15. The questionnaire, anthropometric parameters, biological assessments and treatments were noted. Results: Among the 200 hypertensive subjects recorded, 60% were women and 40% men. The participants had been hypertensive for an average of 10 years. There were more men with diabetes than women: 71.25% vs. 65% for women. About a third of them were type 1 (30% of men and 12.5% of women, p=0.228). Both sexes were almost equally represented, with regard to dyslipidemia: 57.5% of women vs. 60% of men. Conclusion: High blood pressure is a disease that is progressing rapidly in Algeria. The risk factors associated with hypertension are: Age, BMI, diabetes and dyslipidemia... These data confirm the importance of this pathology in terms of public health.
