Abstract

Arterial hypertension is a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Prevalence rates show that about 20% of adults, without distinction between the sexes, have hypertension, and this percentage increases proportionally with the age. With life expectancy and epidemiological transition from infectous parasitic diseases to chronic degenerative, it becomes imperative to establish a plan of care for the latter group. In this context hypertension constitutes a major public health problem. In the municipality of Central FHP Carvalhos there are registered in the basic care of 2,076, 487 of these information systems are registered as hypertensive population, which represents 23,4% of the total population. This study aims to conduct a literature review and propose the creation of operative groups for follow-up of hypertensive patients in the county. Users will be placed in groups according to established cardiovascular risk by Framingham score and functioning according to the protocols of the guide-lines of health care for the adults.Thus, it is expected to implement improvements for both users, valuing principles of universality, equity and integrity of care, and for health professionals, reorganizing the dynamics of the labor process.
