Risco cardiovascular em pacientes maiores de 50 anos na ESF Bela Vista do município Governador Valadares - MG

Abstract

Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a polygenic and multifactorial disease, which can cause damage to target organs. It is an important risk factor for diseases caused by atherosclerosis and thrombosis, which are externalized predominantly by cardiac involvement, cerebral, renal and vascular peripheral. The hypertension is responsible for 25 and 40% of the multifactorial etiology of ischemic heart disease. It is estimated that cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide and in Brazil. Brazil estimates report that one in five people has high blood pressure. Thus, the objective of this work is to develop an action plan aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk in patients over 50 years of both sexes in the FHS Bela Vista do Governador Valadares. The study was conducted through data collection by Flash Estimate method using three main sources: written records of the ESF unit and secondary sources, interviews with key informants and active viewing area. From this study, it will be possible to identify the cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive patients in the catchment area in order to draw up a care schedule, valuing home visits and educational talks, and besides draw an action plan aimed at improving the situation existing health. We expect from the study can understand a little more about the complications of the cardiovascular system of hypertensive patients in their context, reflecting on actions and prevention strategies that can minimize this problem.
