Resumen
Introducción: La hipertensión arterial es una patología crónica que consiste en el aumento de la presión arterial, esta enfermedad se caracteriza por ser asintomática durante un periodo de tiempo. Las principales consecuencias de la hipertensión las padecen las arterias, que se endurecen a medida que soportan la presión arterial alta de forma continua, se hacen más gruesas dificultando así el paso de la sangre a través de estas arterias. Objetivo: Establecer la información oportuna sobre los factores de riesgo y las complicaciones de la Hipertensión Arterial en pacientes atendidos en el Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil, entre el 1 de enero del 2014 hasta el 1 de enero del 2015, Método: El presente estudio es de tipo descriptivo, cualitativo, observacional, retrospectivo, de corte trasversal, donde se desea conocer sobre los factores de riesgo al desarrollo de la hipertensión arterial. Instrumentos: Las técnica que se utilizó es de observación directa, la evaluación de historias clínicas de cada paciente y como instrumento de trabajo se utilizó un formulario, los datos fueron procesados y analizados mediante Microsoft Word, Excel y el programa SPSS. Resultados: Como resultados se escogió una muestra de 100 pacientes, de edades de 40 a más de 70 años, de ambos sexos, donde existe mayor prevalencia del área rural. Conclusión: Podemos decir que si controla a tiempo los factores de riesgo puede disminuir el riesgo de desarrollar hipertensión arterial, y disminuir el índice de morbilidad y mortalidad asociada al problema
Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic pathology consisting of increased blood pressure, this disease is characterized by being asymptomatic over a period of time. The main consequences of hypertension are the arteries, which harden as they support high blood pressure continuously, become thicker thus impeding the passage of blood through these arteries. Objective: To establish timely information on the risk factors and complications of arterial hypertension in patients treated at the University Hospital of Guayaquil between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015, Method: The present study is Type descriptive, qualitative, observational, retrospective, cross-cut, where it is desired to know about the risk factors for the development of hypertension. Instruments: The techniques used were direct observation, evaluation of clinical histories of each patient and as a working tool was used a form, the data were processed and analyzed using Microsoft Word, Excel and SPSS program. Results: A sample of 100 patients, aged 40 to over 70, of both sexes, where there is a greater prevalence of the rural area, were chosen as results. Conclusion: We can say that if it controls risk factors in a timely manner, it can reduce the risk of developing arterial hypertension, and reduce the morbidity and mortality rate associated with the problem
