Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes is a disease of multiple origin, resulting from a lack of insulin or the inability of the insulin to perform its functions effectively, characterized by chronic hypoglycemia and changes in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Hypertension is a multifactorial disease, usually associated with metabolic changes, hormonal and dietary, being diagnosed through increased blood pressure. Objective: The study aimed to identify the association between systemic arterial hypertension and diabetes as risk prognosis for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Methodology: This is about an integrative review and has as theoretical framework the evidence-based practice. The revision was based in the database Virtual Health Library (VHL), the portal National Scientific Library Online journals (SCIELO) and databases of journals and universities. Results: After the revision, and according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, six articles were selected to compose the sample. Filling out the data collection instrument facilitated the classification of the evidence levels. Discussion: Among the complications associated with hypertensive and diabetic, coronary heart disease, including acute myocardial infarct, is one of the most common cardiovascular complications, followed by stroke and a high death rate. Conclusion: It was concluded that prior knowledge of the cardiovascular risk of individuals with these diseases, by health professionals is very important for planning and evaluation of programs in health, for better guidance in care plans.
