RESUMEN
Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 210 pacientes con hipertensión arterial, pertenecientes al Policlínico Dr Carlos Juan Finlay del municipio de Songo-La Maya, desde diciembre del 2009 hasta mayo del 2010, de los cuales 43 fueron ingresados en el Servicio de Cerebrovascular del Hospital General Docente Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba por haber presentado un accidente vascular encefálico. Se obtuvo que 130 integrantes de la casuística (61,9 por ciento) seguían tratamiento de forma irregular y que solo 72 (34,2 por ciento) conocían los nombres de los fármacos que consumían. La principal causa del abandono de la terapéutica regular estuvo dada por el hecho de que muchos de los afectados solo ingerían los medicamentos cuando comenzaban a experimentar las manifestaciones clínicas de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 210 patients with high blood pressure, belonging to Dr Carlos Juan Finlay polyclinic in Songo La Maya, from December, 2009 to May, 2010, out of which 43 were admitted in the cerebrovascular service of Dr Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso teaching general hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to a stroke. The result was that 130 members of the case material (61,9 per cent) were following treatment in an irregular way and that only 72 (34,2 per cent) knew the names of the drugs they were taking. The main cause for quitting the regular therapy was that most of the affected patients only took the pills when they began to feel the clinical manifestations of the disease.
