Introduction
Hypertension (HTN) is one of the health care problems and accounts for increased mortality in urban populations in India. Elevated blood pressure is the main cause of cardiovascular disease like ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease like stroke (Hansson, 2005; Lloyd-Jones, Adams, & Carnethon, 2009). In particular, there has been an alarming increase in high blood pressure prevalence in rural populations in India, for instance, augmented high blood pressure radically, as of 7.15% during 1960 toward 20% during 2005 mitigates the importance of awareness and health education among hypertensive patients in Indian rural populations. Ever-increasing incidence of high blood pressure necessitates improved consciousness amongst the common rural population. Recent Indian study protocol designed for the supervision of cardiovascular disease patients as well as better therapeutic achievement underneath the accustomed cardiovascular disease inhabitants.

Discussion
The present data revealed that the cardiovascular awareness of hypertensive subjects aged between 35-65 living in a rural area of Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. Three main indicators viz., consciousness, therapy and management related to hypertension were studied and analysed. There were 1500 respondents participated in this research with a passive involvement of 85.7% with good turnout throughout the study period (Berra, Miller, & Jennings, 2011; Shirani, Kelishadi, Sarrafzadegan, Khosravi, & Sadri, 2009). In addition to that, a complete training procedure has been deliberated to local health care community workers about the awareness and standard clinical guides has been taught to them using standard clinical practice guidelines (Marshall, Sahm, & McCarthy, 2012; Morrow et al., 2007). This training program may provide an update for the community workers and also provide a definitive covenant and makes certain the superiority of the fact compilation agenda. From this study, it is inferred that a decrease in awareness of hypertensive therapy and management was observed in 35 -54 age group despite their consciousness on hypertension. This may be due to an increase in their socio-economic well being and sedentary lifestyle, including high salty and high-fat food consumption (Jo et al., 2001; Rampal, Rampal, Azhar, & Rahman, 2008). On the other side, an increase in awareness on all the three tested parameters was observed in the age group 55 to 65 and above. The hypertension dimension and accurate certification of participant antiquity of blood pressure and their blood pressure drug handling were carefully audited (Gu, Reynolds, Wu, & Chen, 2002; Heinrich, 2012).
Conclusion
It confirmed that blood pressure or heart-related disease was exceedingly common in the study region, and there the percentage of consciousness, therapy and management were related superior to preceding in India investigation has been completed, possibly gratitude to the topical fast improvement of commonwealth established wellbeing utility plan for humanizing the control of blood pressure. The present conclusion participates in important guideline instruction for decision-makers and wellbeing sources. This hypertension wellbeing control can be taught the communal base and it prevents the public from cardiovascular disease avoidance plan may be effectual and humanizing to manage the blood pressure. Hereby we observed these people are very inattentive to abiding to prescribed drugs to control hypertension. Here one appeal is very important for society and community health nursing have to intend an ethnically susceptible agenda address towering-peril community such as elder age of female and who is staying alone, additionally developing to the therapeutic management of females hypertensive to minimize and reducing the difficulty of cardiovascular disease for the peoples of the rural and urban areas in India.
