Resumen
En el Ecuador existen algunos estudios al respecto que nos
permiten inferir la real situación de esta enfermedad. En la
provincia del Guayas existían 11.819 pacientes hipertensos
aproximadamente hasta el año 2007, datos tomados de informe
de egresos hospitalarios (INEC, INEC, 2007). Estos valores nos
hacen entender la importancia de la hipertensión arterial en esta
provincia, por este motivo se tuvo la necesidad de conocer la
verdadera situación de la enfermedad en el cantón El Empalme
ya que no existían estudios publicados al respecto y se ha tenido
la percepción de una importante prevalencia de esta enfermedad
(INEC, INEC, 2001).Por tal motivo se realizó la medición de la
tensión arterial, peso, talla, índice de masa corporal y
determinación de los principales factores de riesgo en los
pacientes atendidos en Clínica “Guerrero” durante el año 2013,
para conocer la prevalencia de la enfermedad en este grupo
poblacional.La hipertensión arterial es considerada el factor de
riesgo cardiovascular más importante en todos los países del
mundo incluido El Ecuador. Es causa de morbi mortalidad y
discapacidad considerable principalmente en países
desarrollados, pero en países en vías de desarrollo como el
nuestro avanza casi a la par. Por tal motivo se realizó un estudio
de prevalencia de hipertensión arterial en esta población para
conocer su real dimensión, determinar cuáles son los principales
factores de riesgos de las variables estudiadas y establecer un
plan de medidas preventivas y recomendaciones. Se trabajó con
tensiómetros, tallímetro, balanzas, hojas de recolección de datos
y programas informáticos. El estudio fue de carácter descriptivo
transversal, el universo fue similar a la muestra, se analizaron
1844 pacientes y los resultados demostraron que la prevalencia
fue de 33 por ciento en la población estudiada.
In Ecuador there are some studies about allowing us to infer the actual situation of this disease. In the province of Guayas were approximately 11,819 hypertensive patients until 2007, data from hospital discharge report (INEC, INEC, 2007). These values make us understand the importance of hypertension in this province, for this reason the need to know the true situation of the disease in Canton El Empalme since there were no published studies about it and had the perception it had a significant prevalence of this disease (INEC, INEC, 2001) .For this reason the measurement of blood pressure, weight, height, body mass index and determination of the main risk factors in patients seen in clinic was held "Guerrero "in 2013, to determine the prevalence of the disease in this group is considered poblacional.La hypertension cardiovascular risk factor most important in all countries of the world including the Ecuador. It is also a major risk factor for stroke and kidney disease. Causes of morbidity and mortality and significant disability mainly in developed countries but in developing countries like ours proceeds almost at par. Canton El Empalme is no stranger to this situation and health perception in everyday patient care was suspected that a significant number of people suffer from this condition. Therefore a study of prevalence of hypertension in this population was conducted to know its real dimension, to identify the major risk factors for these variables and establish a plan of preventive measures and recommendations are. The study was descriptive cross, the universe was similar to the sample, 1844 patients were analyzed and the results showed that the prevalence was 33 percent in the study population.
