CONTROL AND FOLLOW UP FOR 7 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS OF PATIENTS WITH
ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN THE COMMUNITY OF THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF
SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO, ARGENTINA
Introduction:
The intention of this work was to obtain complementary information regarding patients suffering from
Hypertension, and to observe as the presence of some risk factors for cardiovascular disease, impacts on the tension figures of
said hypertensive patients of the Community of the National University Of Santiago del Estero.
Objectives:
General
: To control and follow up the hypertensive population and investigate the presence of some risk factors for
cardiovascular disease.
Specific
:
1. Describe the hypertensive population of the University Community of the National University of Santiago del
Estero.
2. Demonstrate how the presence of some risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle,
smoking, impact on the tension figures in the hypertensive population of the University Community of the National
University of Santiago del Estero.
Development
: This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, which began in December 2008, recording blood
pressure figures and controlling for risk factors and their modifications in the Primary Care Unit of health. The variables
studied were age, sex, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking habits. At the beginning of the study, patients were advised to
perform walks of at least 30 minutes daily, to continue with a hyposclic and hypolipid diet.
Outcome
: Total visits were 6314.1 times per month during the 7 years and 9 months of the study. There were 6314 controls of
blood pressure, and weight, and questioned about smoking and physical activity. Tension figures averaged at the start of the
study were 150/90 mm Hg, at the end was 135/80 mm Hg in 40% of hypertensive patients, during the first 5 years, at the end
of the study 134/78 mm Hg In 40% of patients.
Depending on the age
: 20 - 29: 06, 30-39: 22, 40-49: 07, 50-59: 11, 60-69: 18, 70-79: 01, 80-89: 01, with a total of 66 hypertensive
patients, these figures were at the beginning of the study. Sixty patients were terminated, two men and two women retired, two

Number of obese
: 57, which represents 86.36% of the total sample at the beginning of the study. At the end of 26, they reduced
their weight, thanks to the programmed physical activity and the hyposódic and hypolipid diet.
Number of sedentarians
: 66, representing 100% of the total sample, at the beginning of the study, at the end of 26 performed
scheduled physical activities.
