Resumen
La hipertensión arterial es un problema de salud pública de primer orden, pues constituye un importante factor de riesgo cardiovascular y está asociada a una mayor probabilidad de eventos cerebrovasculares y lesiones isquémicas. Según estudios de vigilancia epidemiológica hasta una cuarta parte de la población adulta a nivel mundial sufre de hipertensión arterial de los cuales el 41% no mantiene un control adecuado de sus cifras tensionales De acuerdo al estudio qué del total de pacientes atendido en medicina general durante el periodo de estudio del 2016, fue de 1118 de las cuales 140 corresponden a pacientes con HTA, equivale al 13 %. Tenemos que el grupo de edad de las pacientes que mayormente se afectado con HTA fue el comprendido entre 30 y 40 años con el 43 %, en segundo lugar el grupo de mujeres de entre 12 y 19 años con el 0%, y en tercer lugar el grupo de mayores de 36 años con el 57%. La valoración del riesgo, permite conocer aquellos grupos en los que se deben incrementar las actividades de prevención y las intervenciones farmacológicas y no farmacológicas dirigidas a disminuir la morbimortalidad por enfermedad HTA. La hipertensión arterial, la hipercolesterolemia y el tabaquismo son los tres factores de riesgo cardiovascular modificables de mayor relevancia. El sedentarismo, la obesidad o el sobrepeso y el consumo excesivo de alcohol son otros factores.Las medidas de prevención dirigidas a concienciar a la sociedad de la necesidad de adoptar hábitos saludables de vida y al control y seguimiento del tratamiento disminuyen notablemente su morbimortalidad.
Hypertension is a major public health problem, as it is an important cardiovascular risk factor and is associated with an increased likelihood of cerebrovascular events and ischemic injuries. According to epidemiological surveillance studies, up to a quarter of the world's adult population suffers from arterial hypertension, of which 41% do not maintain adequate control of their blood pressure figures. According to the study, which of the total patients treated in general medicine during the Study period of 2016, was 1118 of which 140 correspond to patients with hypertension, equivalent to 13%. We have that the age group of patients that was most affected with AHT was between 30 and 40 years old with 43%, secondly the group of women between 12 and 19 years old with 0%, and third The group of over 36 years old with 57%. The risk assessment allows us to identify those groups in which prevention activities and pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions should be increased, aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality due to HTA disease. High blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia and smoking are the three most important modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Sedentary lifestyle, obesity or overweight and excessive consumption of alcohol are other factors. Prevention measures aimed at making society aware of the need to adopt healthy habits of life and to control and follow the treatment significantly reduce its morbidity and mortality.
