Abstract: Introduction- Dyslipidemia, which is associated with hypertension, has been recognized as independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, a leading diagnosis for visits to physicians and cause of death. Age and gender differences also affect serum lipids considerably.Hypertensive subjects frequently have higher cholesterol levels than normotensive subjects.Though no specific pattern of dyslipidemia has been consistently reported among hypertensive individuals, many studies have shown that total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and virtually all fractions of lipoproteins tend to be more frequently abnormal among hypertensive patients than in the general population. Aims and Objectives-To assess the correlation between hypertension and various parameters of Dyslipidemia..............
