Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are important public health problems in Brazil and the world, being among the first three causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. In the situational diagnosis performed in the territory of the Alvarenga basic health unit in the city of Corinto, Minas Gerais, a high number of people with increased cardiovascular risk were observed. The problems found motivated the elaboration of an intervention project to reduce and control cardiovascular risk factors in users of the Alvarenga basic health unit and the construction of intervention strategies through educational, health promotion and prevention activities to avoid acute and chronic complications in affected patients. These strategies aim to reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, resulting in a positive impact on the quality of life of users of the community health service. This study aims to elaborate an intervention project through educational activities for adequate control of patients with systemic arterial hypertension and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors of users of the Alvarenga basic health unit. To support the elaboration of the intervention project, a bibliographic research was carried out in the databases of the Virtual Health Library and also in the publications of the Ministry of Health. The Project of intervention was elaborated following the steps of the strategic situation planning. It is hoped that with the operationalization of this project we will have a reduction of cardiovascular risk factors and consequently a reduction of morbimortality due to cardiovascular diseases.
