Patients having undergone a blood pressure assessment during hospitalization in the Fédération de Cardiologie at Hôpital de la Croix Rousse and Hôpital Lyon Sud from January 2018 to December 2021

The degree of severity of the hypertension will have been previously diagnosed for each patient with the help of the blood pressure measurements, the number of antihypertensive treatments and the NT-proBNP measurement which is correlated with the left intraventricular pressure and the mass of the left ventricle. This information will be used (i) to guide the structuring of the pathology representation space during the learning phase from a sub-population (a portion of the collected database that will be used for training algorithms); (ii) to serve as an endpoint from a test sub-population (the remaining portion of the database collected).

This measure will assess the arterial blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure measurements will include both systolic and diastolic values. This measurement will be used to evaluate the severity of hypertension and track changes over the course of the study.

This measure will record the number of antihypertensive medications prescribed to each patient. The data will be used to assess the intensity of the treatment regimen required to control blood pressure levels in participants.

Unit of Measure: Count of medications (integer)

This measure will assess plasma concentrations of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker correlated with left ventricular pressure and mass. NT-proBNP levels will be analyzed in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) to evaluate cardiac stress associated with hypertension.
