Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in Brazil has high prevalence rates and low control rates, and is considered therefore a major public health problem. Another factor observed is that cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among Brazilian and that the emergence of these diseases occurs through a decompensated hypertension. Therefore, the systematic control of hypertensive patients, should be a priority of primary health care, with the ground that early diagnosis and control are crucial to reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease. This paper proposes the creation of an action plan to be implemented by the District Family Health Team Santa Rita 2, in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, in order to identify the determinants involving hypertension decompensated. To theoretically support the plan a literature review was conducted to raise the existing evidence on the relevant topic. For that will be drawn up an action plan which will be prepared pamphlets, lectures, individual attention and awareness to patients about the evils that an uncontrolled hypertension can cause. After the implementation of the proposed action plan aims to make the approach to hypertension as a chronic disease, stimulate the accession of the population to lifestyle changes and proper use of medications. By stimulating the patients with regard to care for their health and therefore provide improvements in quality of life, this project aims to contribute significantly to improving the quality of health and life of the population of the catchment area of Santa Rita ESF 2.
