An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years worldwide have hypertension, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries. An estimated 46% of adults with hypertension are unaware that they have the condition. Hypertension is commonly affects all the parts of the world. Objectives: To assess the knowledge on Hypertension among hypertensive patients in selected settings Mysuru and to determine the association between the level of the knowledge on hypertension with their selected personnel variable. Methodology: Research approach: Descriptive research approach was used for this study. Research Design: The descriptive research design selected for this study. Setting: Setting refers to the realm wherever the study is conducted. This study was conducted on Mosanabayanahalli rural areas of Varuna PHC, Mysuru. Population: The target population for the study was Hypertensive patients of Mosanabayanahalli village, rural areas of Varuna PHC, Mysuru. Sample: hypertension patients of Mosanabayanahalli village, rural areas of Varuna PHC, Mysuru. Participants: 30 Hypertensive patients Sampling Techniques: Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. RESULT: The Majority of The hypertensive patients Having Moderate Knowledge On hypertension Follows Few hypertension patients Have Adequate Knowledge. The Overall Mean Knowledge Scores of the hypertension patients is 24.17With SD 4, 08, and out of Many Variable Age gender occupation, Was Found to Be Significant with the Knowledge of 0.05 Level.

INTRODUCTION

Blood pressure is that the force exerted by current blood against the walls of the body’s arteries, the key blood vessels within the body. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease varies across regions and country financial gain teams. The UN agency African Region has the very best prevalence of cardiovascular disease (27%) whereas the UN agency Region of the Americas has all-time low prevalence of cardiovascular disease (18%). the quantity of adults with cardiovascular disease accumulated from 594 million in one975 to 1.13 billion in 2015, with the rise seen for the most part in low- and middle-income countries. This increase is due primarily to an increase in cardiovascular disease risk factors in those populations.
