Abstract

Smoking and hypertension have an important role in mechanism of stroke, both of it also act as major risk factor of stroke. The purpose of this study was to know the relation between smoking and hypertension in patients with stroke. This study is a cross sectional study, the sample was taken consecutively. All sample matched with inclusion and exclusion criteria, demography data and blood sample were taken. Demography data was analized using descriptive statistic, to analize the relationship, we used Chi-Square test. P value <0,05 was significant. From the total of 100 patients, the 68 patients had ischaemic stroke and 32 patients had haemorrhagic stroke, smoker 62 patients (45 ischaemic stroke, 17 haemorrhagic stroke), hypertension 79 patients (51 ischaemic stroke, 28 haemorrhagic stroke). There is a significant relationship between smoking and hypertension, p value = 0,001. Significant relationship between smoking and hypertension might be because both of its have an important role in developing of atherosclerotic vascular disease.
