Blood pressure profile in freshly detected alcohol dependence syndrome patients

Background: Alcohol consumption and raised Blood pressure (BP) are among the top five risk factors responsible for growing global non-communicable diseases (NCD) burden. The present study was undertaken to relation between alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) hypertension effect of reduction in on BP.Methods: A prospective observational conducted at a tertiary care hospital over period 02 years from 08 Oct 2016 2018. total fifty freshly diagnosed ADS patients with BP pre- hypertensive or range after withdrawal subsided, were recruited into study. group subjected repeated measurements, serum Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) measurements status 03, 06, 09 12 monthly intervals. data analyzed ANOVA, Post-hoc Bonferroni Pearson’s correlation tests.Results: There statistically significant mean decrease systolic diastolic blood baseline till 03 months 06 follow-up. GGT levels different time intervals showed that there non-significant weak positive (r value=0.125) (p value= 0.38). During follow-up negative -0.40), which significant. moderate BP(r 0.478), significant.Conclusions: This evaluated changes occurring during treatment. Observed decreases substantially accounted by reductions occurred largely first no fall 01-year duration
