Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in causation of coronary heart disease, stroke and other vascular complications. Calcium metabolism is supposed to be linked with the pathophysiology of hypertension, and various studies have shown mixed results. The present study was planneo measure serum total and free calcium levels in hypertensive patients. Settings and Design: A case-control study involving 80 subjects. Subjects were grouped into 40 healthy controls and 40 cases of hypertension. Results: Both serum total and free calcium levels were decreased, in hypertensive subjects as compared to controls. Conclusions: Decreased serum calcium levels suggest that calcium plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
