Hipertensión arterial como factor pronóstico de mortalidad, en pacientes con Síndrome Coronario Agudo, ingresados en el servicio de Cardiología del Hospital de Especialidades Teodoro Maldonado Carbo, años 2017 – 2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Arterial hypertension (HT) is defined as the disease in which there is an increase in blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg, increasing the prognosis of mortality, in association with advanced ages, in the context of acute coronary syndromes. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the presence of arterial hypertension and mortality in patients admitted with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, in the cardiology service of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Specialties Hospital, during the years 2017 - 2019. Materials and methods: The present study has an observational, analytical, cross-sectional and retrospective design, whose data were obtained by reviewing medical records, in the AS / 400 system of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Specialties Hospital, with a sample of 200 patients with a definitive diagnosis of syndrome acute coronary. Results: From the study carried out on 200 patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, 41 patients (20.5%) belonged to the female sex and 159 (79.5%) to the male sex, with a mean age of 65.55 years (± 12,613). From this sample, 158 (79%) patients with a diagnosis of hypertension were obtained, with a MAP of 95.5 mmHg (± 14.5), of whom 54 (34%) died and 104 (65%) survived. Of the aforementioned population, 41 patients (20.5%) were female and 159 (79.5%) were male, with a mean age of 65.55 years (± 12,613). Conclusions: By associating the presence of arterial hypertension with the mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome, it could be concluded that said disease, apart from being an important risk factor for developing a cardiovascular event in the future, can also help us predict mortality , since we were able to find higher levels of deaths in hypertensive patients compared to those who are not.
