[Prevalence of dyslipidemia and its phenotypes in recently diagnosed essential arterial hypertension].
BACKGROUND
To know the prevalence of phenotypic dyslipidemias and their clinical and metabolic characteristics in recently diagnosed hypertensive patients.


METHODS
Consecutive study of 158 essential hypertensive patients without previous pharmacological treatment.


RESULTS
69.6% of the patients had some kind of dyslipidemia, being the isolated increase of Lp(a) (27.3%) the most prevalent and the hyperapobetalipoproteinemia the less (10.0%). Age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, uric acid, systolic and pulse pressure and serum glucose were different among phenotypes.


CONCLUSIONS
Essential hypertensive patients have high and heterogeneous prevalence of dyslipidemias.
