   Objectives: Hypertension is a chronic cardiovascular condition that greatly affects public health. It is associated with factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, overweight/ obesity and socio-economic status. Controlling blood pressure to the target level is an important goal of treatment, aimed at reducing complications in target organs. The study was conducted with the objectives: (1) to determine the percentage of patients achieving the blood pressure control target; (2) to evaluate some related factors on achieving of blood pressure control target in the study group.

   Methods: Cross-sectional study on 120 outpatients with hypertension disease at Can Tho Cardiovascular Hospital from March 2023 to March 2024.

   Results: The majority of patients were female (70.8%); overweight/obesity was the most common characteristic (53.3%), next came from alcohol consumption; (33.3%), diabetes (30.0%), high salt intake (27.5%), and smoking (19.2%). Most of patients achieved blood pressure target (86.7%). Patients who did not reach BP target had a higher rate of using antihypertensive drugs than patients who reached the BP target (p=0.035).

   Conclusions: Hypertensive patients treated as outpatients were mostly female. A high proportion of hypertensive patients achieved the control target. These patients were mostly male, age <70, with less risk factors exposed. Compared with others, patients who did not achieve BP target used more antihypertensive drugs.
