Cardiovascular diseases appear first among causes of death in Brazil, representing nearly a third of all deaths and 65% of all deaths in the age group 30-69 years old. Most cardiovascular disease results from an inappropriate life style and risk factors that can be modified, like a hypertension. The control of risk factors is essential to the reduction of fatal and non-fatal complications of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this work is to systematize care to patients with hypertension aimed at improving adherence to treatment of hypertension in the ESF Dr. Jorge Juarez Ramires, in Rio do Prado (MG). For the construction of the proposed intervention performed a literature review on the topic together with the computerized databases of the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the diagnosis of the institution, to know the factors that hinder adherence to hypertension treatment. Based on the information acquired was prepared the design of intervention in order to systematize the service with hypertensive actions to promote and prevent health risks to patients. We believe that the implementation of this proposed intervention can reduce the drop to the treatment of hypertensive patients FHS Dr. Jorge Juarez Ramires, minimizing its impact on cardiovascular disease.
