Here's a log odds equation -->

0.8=2.5(Hypertension)+0.3(Gender)+0.06(Age)+15

Please let me know if my interpretation of it is right -->

My interpretation: With one unit change in 'Hypertension', log odds of heart disease increases by 2.5 units. Or in other words, a person with hypertension is 2.5 times more likely to get heart disease as compared to a person with no hypertension.

May I be wrong, but I do not think 2.5 times more. Considering you are not measuring the probability of heart disease to non-hypertension. On this way, your first sentence is correct, but the second, do not.
