ABSTRACT
Introducción: En Venezuela no se ha realizado un estudio grande para conocer el nivel de control de la hipertensión arterial (HTA). Objetivo: El objetivo primario fue conocer la prevalencia de la HTA controlada entre hipertensos tratados farmacológicamente. Materiales y métodos: Es un estudio de corte transversal realizado en pacientes mayores de 18años. Resultados: Se registraron 4.320 pacientes. La prevalencia de HTA controlada fue del 52,6% (IC95%: 51,1-54,1). La falta de control de la HTA se asoció con diabetes (p<0,001), cardiopatía hipertensiva (p<0,001), enfermedad renal crónica (p<0,001) y enfermedad arterial periférica (p=0,02). El incumplimiento del tratamiento también se asoció con HTA no controlada (5,1% [117/2.274] en los controlados versus 43,2% [885/2.046] en los no controlados; p<0,001). Conclusión: La prevalencia detectada de HTA controlada fue del 52,6%
Introduction: In Venezuela, no large studies have been conducted to determine the level of control of hypertension (HT). Objective: The primary objective was to know the prevalence of controlled HT among hypertensive patients treated pharmacologically. Materials and methods: A cross-section study was conducted on patients 18years and older. Results: A total of 4,320 patients were included. The prevalence of controlled hypertension was 52.6% (95%CI: 51.1-54.1%). The lack of control of HT was associated with diabetes (P<.001), hypertensive heart disease (P<.001), chronic kidney disease (P<.001), and peripheral arterial disease (P=.02). Non-compliance of treatment was also associated with uncontrolled HT (5.1% [117/2,274] in the controlled versus 43.2% [885/2,046] in the uncontrolled; (P<.001). Conclusion: The prevalence detected of controlled hypertension was 52.6%
