Prevenção e Controle da Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica na ESF Setor Sul de Santo Antônio de Goiás.

Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) is highly prevalent among the population served by the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the Setor Sul of Santo Antônio de Goiás. High prevalence rates, coupled with insufficient regular follow-up, contribute to disease progression. This project aims to enhance the follow-up of hypertensive patients in Primary Health Care (PHC) through cardiovascular risk stratification, health education, and a reorganization of the multiprofessional team's workflow. The intervention includes a situational diagnosis, staff training, educational focus groups, the implementation of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM), and active patient outreach over a six-month period. Expected outcomes include improved blood pressure control, increased treatment adherence, a reduction in modifiable risk factors, and a stronger bond between patients and the healthcare team. Furthermore, the project seeks to improve PHC performance indicators, ultimately preventing cardiovascular complications and strengthening longitudinal care.
