Mecanismos desencadeantes da insuficiência cardíaca relacionada à hipertensão arterial sistêmica: uma análise do enfermeiro

Abstract

Introduction: Being hypertensive increase the chance of complications that significantly change the quality of life. The Congestive Heart Failure is considered a public health problem worldwide, and over the past three decades have increased both its incidence and prevalence. Several authors have shown that hypertension is a major risk factor for heart failure. Objective: To identify the triggering mechanisms of hypertension-related heart failure. Methodology: The evidence-based practice (EBP) addresses clinical care and based on knowledge and evidence quality education. This methodology determines the current knowledge on a particular subject and is composed of six stages in the drafting process. Results and Discussion: Patients with hypertension frequently present remodeling and left ventricular hypertrophy as adaptive to chronic systolic pressure overload responses. Hypertrophy is the starting point for myocardial dysfunction whose end result is heart failure. Conclusion: In view of what has been discussed, there is an evident need for health professionals to develop actions for health promotion and disease prevention.
