Assessment of Hypertensive Patients' Complex Metabolic Status Using Data Mining Methods.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Hypertension is a preventable risk factor leading to major cardiovascular events. We have not found a comprehensive study investigating Central and Eastern European hypertensive patients' complex metabolic status.
