STUDY OF THE RISK FACTORS DETECTED IN THE EVOLUTION OF PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are part of a group of conditions starting from the heart structures and blood vessels. Since the symptomatology of these conditions is complex, which affects the whole body, special attention is required from the medical personnel. The management of these pathologies is a complex one, which obligatorily implies the existence of good communication between the primary healthcare as well as the treating specialists.
According to the latest statistical studies, cardiovascular diseases are currently the main cause of death worldwide. According to statistics from 2015, 17.9 million deaths were due to cardiovascular pathologies, which is 6.3% more than the death rate in the 90s. From the point of view of the distribution of these conditions depending on sex, the predominance is noted among men of acute coronary diseases and vascular accidents, the same conditions being found also in the case of the opposite sex [McGill, H. 2008].
Arterial hypertension is defined by specialized literature as a chronic cardiovascular disease. It is characterized by the constant presence of elevated blood pressure values. Over time, this conjuncture creates an environment in which it is stimulated in the development of coronary diseases, aneurysms, but also peripheral vascular disease, as well as purely cardiac pathologies such as heart failure (which has systemic symptoms), or atrial fibrillation [Lawes, C, 2001].
