Abstract

Background

Epidemiological studies have shown an increased prevalence and incidence of hypertension as well as a higher incidence of stroke among patients suffering from RLS. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of RLS among patients with resistant hypertension (RH) and compare the clinical characteristics of these patients with patients of stroke pre-existing RLS and with patients with primary RLS presenting to the Sleep clinic.

Methods

Consecutive patients with RH (without any identifiable cause on extensive work up) and consecutive in-patients with stroke were enrolled over a 3-year-period. Patients with RH fulfilling revised-IRLSSG-criteria for RLS comprised group 1 and those with stroke and RLS formed group 2. These were compared with patients diagnosed to have idiopathic RLS (iRLS) (Group 3). Prevalence of RLS in groups 1 and 2 and RLS characteristics in all groups were compared.

Results

Sixteen out of 56 RH patients (29%) formed group 1 and 43 out 346 of stroke patients (12%) formed group 2, while 43 consecutive iRLS patients were included in group 3. Age was significantly higher, with male dominance in group 2. Median age at symptom onset was significantly lower in group 1. Positive family history was similar in RH and iRLS patients and was significantly less common in stroke patients. Asymmetrical/unilateral distribution of symptoms was significantly more common in stroke group, compared to RH and iRLS groups.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated a high prevalence of RLS among patients with resistant hypertension. RLS characteristics are different from those in patients with stroke, and very similar to primary RLS.
