This study aims to determine the relationship of the stage of hypertension with the incidence of ACS in the Cardiac Inpatient Room Dustira Cimahi Hospital in 2018. This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional method approach, the population in this study were all ACS patients that recorded in medical record, while the respondents were ACS patients with a history of hypertension recorded in medical record and treated at Dustira Cimahi Hospital with total 112 samples, by using systematic random sampling. Based on the research, there were 48 male patients (42.90%), while female patients were 64 (57.10%). The average age of patients was 61.75 years old. Obtained from 19 people with normal-high blood pressure degree, 10 people (52.63%) were ACS-UAP, from 24 patients with first stage of hypertension as many as 15 people (62.50%) were ACS-UAP, from 29 patients with second stage of hypertension as many as 18 people (62.07%) were ACS NSTEMI, and from 40 patients with third stage of hypertension as many as 29 people (72.50%) were ACS STEMI. A p-value of 0.000 showed a significant relationship between the stage of hypertension and the incidence of acute coronary syndrome at Dustira Hospital Cimahi in 2018.
