ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La hipertensión es uno de los principales factores que aumentan la "carga" de la enfermedad aterosclerótica. Objetivo: Analizar las características, el tratamiento y el grado de control en pacientes atendidos por cardiólogos en nuestra zona de influencia. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en 13 consultorios de cardiología donde se analizaron las características clínicas, tensión arterial y tratamiento farmacológico. Resultados: Se enrolaron 519 pacientes en 3 meses, hombres: 44,9%, edad: 61,5 años, tiempo de hipertensión: 11,2 años, enfermedad cardiovascular: 24%, tensión arterial promedio: 133/79,8 mmHg. Entre los pacientes sin enfermedad cardiovascular, el 73% tenían riesgo cardiovascular bajo (<10%). El 39,1% recibía dos drogas; el 26,8%, tres; el 24,7%, uno; el 7,9% cuatro; y el 1,35%, cinco drogas. Finalmente, el 60,5% de los pacientes estaba en el objetivo de tensión arterial (<140/90 mmHg). Conclusiones: Los pacientes con hipertensión evaluados en nuestra área geográfica presentaban bajo riesgo cardiovascular y alto uso de combinaciones farmacológicas. El 60% alcanzaban los objetivos de tensión arterial.


ABSTRACT Background: Hypertension is one of the main factors that increase the "burden" of atherosclerotic disease. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics, treatment and degree of control in patients treated by cardiologists in our area of influence. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 13 cardiology offices analyzing hypertensive patients' clinical characteristics, blood pressure and pharmacological treatment. Results: A total of 519 patients with the following characteristics were enrolled during a 3-month period: 44.9% were men, mean age was 61.5 years, the spell of hypertension was 11.2 years, 24% of patients had cardiovascular disease and mean blood pressure was 133/79.8 mmHg. Among patients without cardiovascular disease, 73% had low cardiovascular risk (<10%). Hypertensive treatment showed that 39.1% of patients were receiving two drugs, 26.8% three, 24.7% one, 7.9% four and 1.35% five drugs. Finally, 60.5% of patients was within the target blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg). Conclusions: Hypertensive patients evaluated in our geographical area presented low cardiovascular risk and high use of pharmacological combinations. Pressure targets were achieved in 60% of cases.
